Hello folks,

I am looking to start up a car Lubricant and car care retail shop (products such as car perfume, radiator coolant, ATF, oil treatment, spray paints, dashboard polish, car wax, car wash etc), and I have Enugu and Uyo on my radar.

Which of these location is good for my type of business?

I don’t know about Enugu but If you have a good location for this in uyo, preferably Oron road or Aka road I can assure you this will sell.
But just like every other business you will need to run publicity. If your pocket is strong, pay for advert with Akbc tv.

I guess you meant to write “mechanic village” which is at abak road.
That axis is good too but competition is very high and you will need to proof what you do differently to draw customers to you. And of course it will take time.
I always recommend Oron road to any business cos the axis is like the Lagos of Akwa Ibom. It houses 4 major housing estate in Akwa Ibom namely; Ewet housing, Osong Ama, Shelter Afrique (Shelter Afrique and Ewet housing is to Akwa Ibom what Maitama and Asokoro is to Abuja). Cost of shop in Oron road is very high because of its business prospects and population.But the choice is yours to make.

Oron road, abak road(mechanic village) ikotekpene road.. These are the best places for you in uyo. Apart from these places mentioned.. Pls forget uyo. Moreover getting shop in this places is always going to be hard because it's always competitive. Shops are very expensive thIs places. Aka road is also good. My experience though.

For a 2 bedroom flat in a good location budget 300k. For a one bedroom flat 200-240k.

No idea of union market, you can always ask that when you touch down and you will be given a comprehensive info on that.

Depends on the size and location. For instance from plaza to timber market junction a standard shop goes for 300k a year. Some are higher than that sef.

25-30k per month for shop between the location I mentioned. Note. They will always ask for 2years payment.

I have a personal list of 10 lucrative businesses that can generate consistent cash flow for you in this in Akwa Ibom. They can also sustain you even when you decide to stay outside Akwa Ibom.

I’ve compiled the list into a PDF e-book format so you can easily download it into your phone or laptop.

These are 10 lucrative businesses I’ve studied since I moved to Akwa Ibom in 2006. They’ve been doing well since 2006 and they will still do well even in 2025 and beyond.

They are inflation proof. I’ve seen them do well under rain and sun in this Akwa Ibom.

You don’t even need to be there all the time if you’re the busy or lowkey type. Someone can run it for you while you come later in the day to collect your profits and give them their commission.

Out of this 10 lucrative businesses, I’ve started just 2. These are the lucrative businesses that have been funding my lifestyle since I started staying in Uyo.

There’s no point being selfish, that’s why I decided to share them with you… go here to read more: https://selar.co/business-uyo

P. S. You have to act quick because I’ll soon stop giving access to the PDF e-book so that too many people will not cast these valuable updates.

Act now. Don’t miss out!
