Please all genuine and constructively given advices will be highly welcome.

The location is one of the cities in the South South states of Nigeria.
The Land area is about 7 Hectares near an averagely busy area of the city.

The question is: Should I build and Run a standard School or Build and Run a standard Event centre

Please help a brother make a better choice from the above..


Thank you Nairalanders

If you can afford to build a standard school and also have the experience of running a school, then go for it.

If you have Experience in School Administration, You are good to go... Make you no go put head like a school in Akure Wey get better structures but no students oooooo...

It's not about wisdom; Nigerians are just broke.
Things are not getting any better.

Meanwhile, OP should just build an event center and dodge the stress of running schools.

Managing an event center is easy, but running a school requires so much.

Can't I undergo a course in School Adminstration that will help me understand how to run a school?

Thank you very much.

I do like the idea of a school. What if I get people knowledgeable in running a school involved?

Actually have no experience in school administration but am willing to learn

I'll advice you to find a better school, Apply as a Teacher, and apply for PGDE in Education.. it will greatly help you.. Google about a School in Ibadan, The name is Valencia Schools in Ibadan( One of the best).. The Owner is an Engineer( He has no background in Education), but what helped him is that his mother is an experienced Teacher...He took Education to an international level.. I also heard you need to be a professional teacher( Have Degree in Education or Pgde in Education to Register a School)... But I believe youll do well if you gain experience cos people are really DUBIOUS.. Experience will help you not just Certificate..

I intend taking any of my options very serious. Will like to take this to international heights

OP first of all, commit your request to God. Let Him lead you. Wait patiently and quietly for an answer. He may just give you a different leading like starting a farm (could be mechanised poultry etc)

Until you do the above please don't just dive into any of your options, cause you may get your fingers burnt. The comment of someone up there that mentioned a school with no students really caught my attention. Hence the need to run things through with your Daddy.

Shalom.

It goes beyond just doing a crash course...do you have any practical experience as an educator?

Do not ever make the mistake of starting up a business if you do not have the necessary practical skills and experience to run that business.

If you do so it means you will be at the mercy of people who have the skills...a new business should keep its operating expenses at the barest minimum but you will not be able to achieve this if you have to pay people to do some important tasks which ordinarily you should be able to do or supervise!

if only u know how these parents owe schools n later withdraw their kids, running school is tasking coupled with the fact that accreditation is another problem.

How about how to get students?
What about managing of staffs?

I have been there n I really don't like the business,one small mistake by a staff can cost u so many things.

Event centre is cool,u might just build shopping complex in front of it to make d place more lively.

I can give u additional information about business n business ideas,u can reach me via call or WhatsApp at number at signature
