Above all, part of the money will be aloted to farming ( irrigation farming) because most farmers concentrate on producing their farm product only during the raining season, while i want to use that opportunity to produce such crops to meet up with the customer demand even during the dry season.
If I was given #3million I will diversify the money and start an ICT business, enter into AGRO( rearing of cat fish) and register my business name with corporate affairs commission and advertise it.

I have always intended to see my business grow in both strength and popularity, though 3million naira may not drive my dream Buisness but there is a saying that, a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.
So
If I am given a 3million I will invest it in rice milling:
Today rice milling is one the best Buisness one can venture into in Nigeria.
Currently Nigeria consumes over 5million metric tons which is equivalent to over 1million 50kg bags of rice annually. With the current population growth in Nigeria the consumption of rice is estimated to reach about 35million metric tons equivalent to 700million 50kg by the year 2040.
So there is a high demand of rice in Nigeria with a population of over 180million people and an estimated national population growth rate of 5.7% per annum. Nigeria have a large
And growing market for rice.
So with this explanation new entrants into the rice milling industry will be able grow faster and have an evergreen market across the nation.
I will use the money to start up a Cargo truck/can for moving goods. With about 2.5–2.8m, you can get one and if well managed, will fetch between 200–400k per month
First let me say Amen to the 3million naira because it is life changing money in this time of era. As a graduate in search to find a means to survive in this country, I will start up my own personal business that will profit more money to me. Am into catering business and I will so much appreciate the money.

If FG give me N3m today, I’ll do 3 things with the money
1. I’ll open a barber shop
2. I’ll open a laundry business
3. I’ll do my ICAN exams
For the barber shop, my cousin brother who just finished learning how to barb, can manage the business and the profit will be shared based on agreement.
The other laundry business I can handle it and still prepare for my exams as well.
Base on my first comment I will start up a commercial farming with the skill I learnt during my nysc year and the little I have learnt as an experience such as fish farming or pig farming to live a comfortable life and to offer job to the society.
If Federal Govt give me 3m

2. Transportation business, i will invest in it to ease movement to work, places, markets, traveling etc at affordable prices
I will use judiciously. firstly, as Nigeria is diversifying to agriculture, I will simply enter into poutry agriculture.i will buy many chicks and feed them till it is matured for sell. I will sell in high price and make gain..I will also distribute egg in large quantities to people.
I will invest the money on bridal and rentals, like pot, spoon, cooler etc for events. And also open a workshop for training individuals on catering.i will travel to China and buy wedding gowns and decorations materials
I have always wanted to have my own transportation business. With the 3 million naira, i will buy a clean car and register with Taxify, uber and the likes, and also engage in airport taxi as well. God willing.
