How corper made N650k in NYSC camp
On the way, Sophia said she sold some of the cakes and was also patronised by other corps members in camp.
According to Sophia, she made about 52 cakes and sold each for N2,000 to people in her camp hostel.
Sophia said she made N111k from the sale of the cakes alone. Next, she participated in an entrepreneurship grant contest organised by a bank in camp and came top.
For having the winning pitch, the cake vendor won the star prize of N500k. Other cash Sophia received in camp to bring the total to over N650k include N33k allowance and a bicycle allowance of N6,400. Sophia’s statement in part went thus:
“…I’m a businesswoman and before I went I made some cakes to sell. Banana bread cakes to sell.
“So, I sold some on the way.
“I sold some when I got to the hostel in camp to my friends.
“So I made about 52 cakes and sold each for 2,000 naira. So, you can do the math.
“Next thing I did, I applied for grant in camp…”
