Can We Possibly Get Our Undergrads To Be More Business Smarter in School

Can We Possibly Get Our Undergrads To Be More Business Smarter in School

From Odusina Adewale Hiworks

For some reasons, a lot of us spent 4-7years in Higher Institution acquiring knowledge and did not for once see the huge business potential the environment offers.

See a small analysis.

I schooled at University of Ilorin and the population of people in my Campus would have been over 10,000. Now, this would be 3 or more times more.

Imagine every student come to school with N10,000.00 monthly upkeep allowance.

The implication of this is that, every Session of six months in school N1.8billion will exchange hands in goods and services.

I ask myself now,  what happened to me back then in school??? 

90% or more of this pull of funds will circulate within the 4 walls of the institution through foodstuffs, groceries,fast food,hair care,  sport,  newspapers,transportation, telephone calls,  data,  stationeries, handouts, parties, Dressing, acquisition of appliances etc

It is high time we positioned our children in their teens to leverage this huge opportunities, equipping them with business skill, financial management skills, accounting skill,  soft skills, Trade skills like fashion designing,  hair care and related skills,  laundry skills, ironing skill, etc

Do you know that if the entire pull of funds recycle among the students as they offer services to one another, they could come back home with half of the value  taken to school as profit. It simply imply everyone offers some services.

When we show more interest in the empowerment of our children,  they will sack us early from financial support responsibility.

Mentoring is a deeper, more impactful approach to parenting our Teens. Mentoring can be outsourced,  when parents have difficult coming across in this regards and Mentoring can be learnt.

To be continued....
