Top 10 Lucrative Jobs In Nigeria

Doing business in Nigeria is currently viewed as one of the most lucrative business ventures, in today’s global business environment. For the past 50 years Nigeria has been dependent on its valuable oil resources, which have brought great wealth to a select few. However, as Nigeria’s economic sphere slowly changes, its economic structure diversifies to overcome its dependency on oil. This shift has opened up the playing field for a new generation of entrepreneurs in Nigeria. People, who can identify business opportunities in Nigeria, know that the oil industry is not the only business that you can enter and make money from. If you are thinking of setting up a business in Nigeria and making millions of Naira from it, you can choose from a variety of options. Read and find out my top 20 legitimate money making ventures in Nigeria.

1. Fast Food business – You need decent customer service, management skills and capital in order to set up an eatery and make sure that everything runs professionally. You can set out on your own and create your own brand, or buy in to an already established business franchise, such as Mr. Biggs.
 2. Hotel business – This is a goldmine industry if you can get it right, but the competition in this sector is quite high. To launch and maintain your hotel you will need a large amount of capital. It takes planning, patience and hard work to start a hotel business. A high-level of customer service skills is also required to attract new and returning visitors.

3. Dry Cleaning – Float a professional dry cleaning business and keep your rates low and service quality quite high. This type of business is especially profitable in a big city, or urbanized area.

4. Pure Water Production – Although this business needs some capital investment, it can be worth your effort and money in the long run particularly if you can manage pure water production and keep the quality intact over a long time. Your options are to sell as sachet, bagged or bottled water.
5. Professional Car Wash – This can be a good business if you choose a location like Lagos where you will be able to find a number of good cars.

6. Internet Business – You can provide fast Internet connection at affordable monthly rates and manage it well enough to make tons of money.

7. Nursery and Primary School – There is a lack of good schools in the country and you can set up high quality nurseries or primary schools to make millions.

8. Online tech support – You can easily set up an online tech support business and make a lot of money within a year or two of your business launch. This is a simple business and you do not have to be a tech expert to operate in this sector. I’ve known people set up these types of businesses, and outsource the work to tech professionals.
 9. Car and machinery spare parts – As Nigeria’s economy grows, so does our manufacturing industry. This has driven a rapid increase for capital goods such as machinery, lubricants, spare parts, ball bearings and other mechanical goods and accessories. The key is to find a good supplier from abroad. UAE-based enterprises have emerged as the leading supplier of these goods to many countries in Africa.
 10. Poultry farming – This is big business, and you can begin with around 100 birds, and build it into a large-scale enterprise within a short period of time. You can make money from selling chicken eggs, or chickens for meat. This is a top business startup idea.
