Mr Eteng currently produces 300 to 350 wraps of agidi daily and does not intend to increase production immediately until he sees how the...
The wraps of agidi are carefully stacked in the tray; the price for each is N100. A full tray is about N20,000, according to the report.
Mr Okoi’s admiration for Mr Eteng increased sharply when the agidi hawker told him he preferred a loan instead of some free money.“I have never heard that. He told me he wanted a loan. That means he has a sense of responsibility. He is accountable,” Mr Okoi told PREMIUM TIMES. Mr Eteng said he would use the money to set up a kiosk where people can easily visit to buy his agidi instead of leaving potential customers to wonder how to trace him.
He has taken his marketing strategies further by adding his customers to a WhatsApp group he set up to ease communication with them. He announces when the agidi is ready, takes orders from customers and then outsources the delivery to a local logistics firm.“Sometimes the delivery guys do disappoint me. There is a way you call them, and they say they are busy,” Mr Eteng said. “The challenge I have now is a delivery bike.
“Whatever thing you know how to do, focus on it, hold it tight, dream about it, remain consistent and do it better to stand out,” he added.“The key lesson for entrepreneurs here is that first, you need a vision to succeed as an entrepreneur, and you need to start small. A lot of folks have big dreams, but they want to start from the top.
