Invest In Awka
Okay so I was thinking recently about business in Nigeria and I came up with 5 reasons why entrepreneurs and businessmen should invest and grow businesses in the city of Awka.
- Capital City Advantage: Awka is the capital city of Anambra state, now that’s something any wise entrepreneur would see as a futuristic advantage. The fact that the place is not yet developed to taste doesn’t mean it’s a bad place to invest business; In fact, it means the exact opposite! Looking at other states, mostly the capital is the most developed part, this movement would eventually reach the city of Awka and by then many would be entrenched in ‘had I known’ lament.
- Less Competition: Depending on the kind of business you’re into and the sector you’re involved in, there’s literally little or no competition. Anyone who steps in with a grand business plan and great packaging will inadvertently swoop the market to his/her side. Look at the recreational section of this city for instance, it’s sparsely indulged.

Going in there blindfolded isn’t advisable though, wisdom should guide anyone trying to explore that venture to choose wisely when it comes to location, and other factors. Building a recreational park or a zoo in the hamlets of Okpuno for example is like telling a horse stranded in the Arabian Desert that you have some water in the Amazonian jungle. This area requires counsel from professionals.
- Seed Time & Harvest: Like I said firstly, Awka is the capital city of Anambra and is still undergoing development. Anyone who understands times would know instinctively that this is the time to invest and put seeds into the ground for the harvest is fast approaching.
- More Profit (aiding development): This sounds like cheating, even to me writing it; but passionate staff would know it’s for the better. The city of Awka’s population is 60% students, now this is an advantage, most of them have parents paying their rent and footing their bills, they only get a job to feel they’re making their own money, look important, or to get rid of laziness (though some really need those jobs!) Now to maximise profit, a company can discuss with it’s employees and give them a fixed amount salary for the time being, so that whatever was cut out can be put back into the company to help aid development and then the full salary can be implemented when the company attains a certain stage of development.
- Unskilled staffs tend to be more loyal: Now many of these students are here in Awka strictly to face their studies and leave. Too bad, many of them are the ones qualified for the vacancies that may be in our offices and yet the ones we end up hiring are the unqualified ones who have to make mistakes a thousand times before they are good at what they do. Patience is really required on the side of the employer, patience entwined with wisdom though for if you discover that the one under your employ is not a prospect for the future, then they have to be laid off. Having unskilled workers means they have to learn from you and become pros off of your tutelage; this is an advantage to the company because the learning process runs up the heart of the worker to drive the company. These ones who put their heart into the company’s future are the kind of people you would need to push your company forward.
Invest In Awka
Having put down these 5 reasons, I should say especially to young entrepreneurs that it would be unwise to jump into business head-first without thinking or having a mentor who counsels you on how to invest wisely.
Many businesses have crumbled because their founders didn’t really look into the future to see what would happen. The business sector is a very tricky place; your own very mistakes are the sharks that would eat you up.
