Build a Space Tech Startup Pitch Deck for a Nigerian Earth Observation Company
Research the Nigerian and West African market for Earth observation data and build a full investor pitch deck for a fictional (or real) startup selling satellite-derived insights to a specific industry. This is a strategy and communication exercise in one of the fastest-growing segments of African deep tech.
Write a Policy Brief on How Nigeria Should Use Space Technology to Combat Urban Flooding in Lagos
Research how satellite and remote sensing data could be integrated into Lagos State's flood response and urban planning systems, then write a policy brief addressed to the Lagos State Ministry of the Environment. This is a research and policy exercise for a problem that displaces hundreds of thousands of people every year.
Prototype a Night Sky Education App for Secondary School Students in Rural Northern Nigeria
Design and prototype a mobile app that teaches secondary school students in rural northern Nigeria about astronomy and space science using local context, local languages, and offline functionality. Nigeria produces very few space scientists, partly because the subject feels foreign to most students.
Build a Data-Driven Scouting System for Lagos Street Football
Design a lightweight scouting and talent-tracking tool for informal street football competitions in Lagos, giving grassroots coaches and scouts a practical way to identify and follow promising players who currently fall through the cracks.
Write a Funding Strategy for a Women's Basketball Club in Abuja
Produce a practical funding and sustainability plan for a semi-professional women's basketball club operating in Abuja, where corporate sponsorship is thin and government support is unreliable.
Pitch a Heritage Tourism Strategy for Benin City's Bronze Route
Develop a tourism strategy that turns Benin City's world-famous bronze casting tradition into a structured visitor experience. With the Benin Bronzes still in international headlines, there is a narrow window to position the city as a serious cultural destination.
Design a Safety Communication System for Solo Female Travellers in Nigeria
Create a practical safety communication toolkit that helps young Nigerian women travel solo within the country with more confidence. Safety anxiety is one of the biggest reasons domestic tourism among women stays low, and the gap is as much about information and community as it is about actual risk.
Model the Economics of a Community Surf Tourism Business in Eko Atlantic or Lagos Coastline
Build a business model for a surf and coastal tourism operation on the Lagos coastline that benefits the local fishing communities already living there. Nigeria has waves, a coast, and a growing appetite for outdoor experiences, but no structured surf tourism sector yet.
Build a Last-Mile Logistics Model for Markets Outside Lagos Island
Design a viable last-mile delivery model for traders in high-density mainland markets like Mushin, Agege, and Oshodi who cannot afford existing courier rates. The work will produce a business model and pricing framework grounded in real constraints.
Design a Commuter Information System for the Lagos BRT Network
Create a practical information design solution for BRT commuters in Lagos who currently have no reliable way to know wait times, route changes, or fare updates. The output is a UX prototype and a channel strategy that works for low-data users.
Write the Policy Case for Regulating Tricycle Taxis in Secondary Nigerian Cities
Produce a policy brief that makes the case for a specific regulatory framework for keke napep operations in a mid-size Nigerian city, drawing on what has worked and failed in comparable contexts. The audience is a state ministry of transport.
Pitch a Carpooling Product for Office Corridors in Abuja
Develop a product pitch and go-to-market strategy for a carpooling service targeting the specific commuter corridors and employment patterns of Abuja, where car ownership is higher but traffic and fuel costs are making solo commutes increasingly painful.
