by undergraduates in theirfinal year. Trends have showed
that lots of these students do not have the skills and
research resources required to execute their project topic.

Your responsibility will entail researching project topics
and coming up with the necessary full project after the
project topic must have approved. It is not uncommon to
charge as high as 50k and as low as 15k. All you need to
do in order to generate1m annually is to have 50 clients
in a year. This figure should not be difficult to come by
judging by the laziness displayed by lots of undergraduates.

Your responsibility will be to meet businesses with your proposal,
letting them know how your service can be of benefit to them.

by every business and individual. Businesses need brochures,
newsletters, fliers etc. Individuals at least once in a

any printing job comes alive, i.e. graphic design, digital
colour separation, lithography, impression, etc. There are
experts who will handle all this aspect of the job for you.

The only thing you need to know is how to combine good
colours, have eyes for anything good, ask for other people’s
opinion and be ready to learn along the way.

home with. I was raised up in food selling environment. One
thing that is assured is that once done well this business will
sell. The approach you should take to the business is one of
prompt delivery, good food and pocket friendly price.

Your market will be an environment that is dominated by offices.
Remember people find it difficult to leave their offices during
working ours. This is why big organizations like banks and likes
have kitchen within their premises. For companies that do not
have kitchens, you can feel the gap by offering this service.

to be the one to cook the food. Just reach an agreement with any
food vendor that cooks good food and you mark up the price with

11. Mobile Video Rentals: The home video industry in Nigeria
popularly referred to as Nollywood is growing by strength
daily. Years back Nollyhood was ranked third in the world
behind Hollywood and India’s Bollywood but now its ranked
number second.

Video rentals are offshoot of Nollywood industry and it has
come to stay. Nigerians are addicted to movies and are always
renting movies because they can not cope with buying movies
because of the large number churned out everyday.

The video rental sector of Nollywood can be tapped into with
the mobile rental strategy. Instead of people coming to you,
you go to them and doing this will make you dominate the market
than the others in the trade.
