BUSINESS DIGEST BY Dr. EMMANUEL IDENYI SHAIBU

Business Digest started as a child of necessity and this child of necessity was not conceptualised to be a long-term thing, but was envisaged to create impact amongst people who come across it. In 2011, precisely in Jos, Plateau State, my wife and I were privileged to start building our first house, in Federal Low-cost Estate and when the Engineer who built the house started work, he couldn’t get water, he had to buy water from water vendor to build the entire house. I was already thinking of what business to do and I actually started water supply business in Jos Plateau State in March, 2012. While building was on, I had the opportunity to interact with a lot of business owners and traders in the building material line of business. There was a lot of ignorance or knowledge gap and the African man will not willing want to read a book, yet they need this knowledge of Business, Finance, Entrepreneurship, Leadership, and many more. This was what actually gave birth to the daily incisive and practical lessons being shared on Business Digest.
