A Nigerian University like UNILAG (University of Lagos) can implement a similar program, let’s call it “Unilag Ventures”, where high performing first year students can apply to start a business under Unilag Ventures with startup funding from the University as well as corporate sponsors. A Board should be created for Unilag Ventures, which will constitute of faculty members, Corporate Executives and also Government representatives. In addition, faculty and corporate mentors will be assigned to the students to help guide them through their operations. Having this Board and mentors will give students access to high profile individuals, who can help with job placement post-graduation, help provide corporate donations and also government investment in the Unilag Ventures program.
