Advise Government to Invest in manufacturing

over the years, government has come out to give assistance to Nigerian entrepreneurs especially the SMEs but it seems the employment rate, the import rate continue to be on the increase. somebody may ask why? The reason is not far fetch, only 10 % of such interventions made their way to the manufacturing sector, most goes into marketing and other services. For any country to however reduce unemployment and importation rate, the chunk of government investment should go into the manufacturing sector. the government should also protect that sector with utmost jealousy. It is time to take the bull by the horn and do the needful until every job seeker in Nigeria gets job. Government officials especially the President and labour minister should also visit our seaports to verify the goods we bring in. If they can be produced here then they are not suppose to be brought here, simple.

Don’t be greedy!

This is one major rule in business. Your focus should not just be profit but the satisfaction of your customers. When you realise your customers are the sustainers of your business, it helps you to shift attention from profit to them.

Nigeria not ripe for agricultural export!

Over the years, the jingles about returning to agriculture has increased. Even a child would tell you that the solution to the Nigerian problem is returning to agriculture. The problem I have with those advocating for a return to farming has always been emphasis on exporting agricultural produce for foreign exchange. The truth is that we are not yet self sufficient and therefore should not be talking of export. One of the reasons why the prices of agricultural produce are costly and scarce today is because a large chunk that should have remained in circulation has been moved to the port for export. The local industries cannot even depend on our agricultural sector because of inconsistency in supply. If we therefore desire our industries to grow, it's time we stop export and focus first on local production and satisfaction. The excess can serve as export.
