So, if you are in need of some lucrative, low-cost business ideas as a student, then this is the right place to be!

Factors To Consider Before Picking Business Ideas For Nigerian Students

Before picking up an business idea as a student, you should consider these:

Time: Some businesses require more time than the others. And if your course of study is tedious especially if you’re in the medical line, it is highly advisable you critically examine your schedule with before picking up any of the businesses.

Skills: Some businesses require a certain level of skill. Not all business ideas for students in Nigeria can go well with you. For instance, picking up graphics design will not work unless you have the skills.

So, what can you do?

Why Side Business For Students?

a. It gives you extra cash, especially if what you receive is never enough

b. You learn skills that would empower you after school. There are some skills that you may not get, like negotiation, from the class room.

Let’s now see some business ideas for students in Nigeria in no particular order! Let’s go there!

1. Social Media Management

There are some person(s)/organizations that need people to handle their social media accounts. A student with reasonable knowledge of social media can do this at the comfort of his hostel. With a smartphone and data, this job is no doubt one of the simplest business ideas for students in Nigeria.

2. Cleaning/Dry cleaning

Yes, don’t say it is a dirty job because you’d be surprised at the number of students/people that need their clothes, houses sparkling clean.

I knew someone in school who did that. He got clients even outside the school and when you enter his room, you’d smell class.

And interestingly, there is little skill needed here. This is one of the business ideas for students in Nigeria that’d need patience.

3. Data sharing

This is quite simple. Buy data in bulk and resell to others. It becomes more interesting since a large number of persons depend on data to keep up with the social media and drive their businesses.

You don’t need a physical space to do this. It can be done anywhere and at anytime.


4. Clothes/Fashion Items

Selling used clothes, fondly called okirika, is one of the business ideas for students in Nigerian can. Aside used clothes, students can also sell new ones.

What you need for this is to get in touch with wholesalers where you can get quality materials and resell on campus.

You don’t need much capital to start this as your business is mobile – going from halls to hostels, classrooms etc.

Aside clothes, you can sell shoes, and some clothing accessories.

5. Barbing/Hair Plating

This is one of the commonest and easy-to-start businesses ideas for students in Nigeria. The huge student population makes it easy to find the right customers.

You can attach yourself to a barbing salon where you are expected to give certain percentage of your charges to the owner (s) for any work done.

The good side of this one is that it rarely clashes with your lecture time since many people use the salons on weekends or at the tail-end of the day.
