Greetings dear steemians, my name is Jeffrey Obike from Kaduna, Nigeria. I'm currently a student of Kaduna State University (KASU), studying Computer Science. I have been a graphics designer over three years now. My enterptise is not only restricted to mere graphics designing but also printing and branding, e.g branding of cars, billboards and printing of flyers, stickers, books, magazines, etc nothing is impossible with JEFF DESIGN. My services are both online and physical . it is to be noted that my upcoming enterprise is sponsored by NEON INSIGNIA a designing company where I was opportuned to accuquire the skill of graphics and printing in general. In respect toThe question of how I was sponsored. The CEO of the company in person of Mr Henry Amaechi He is one of the veterans of the kaduna state master printers association (KAMPA) and he was opportuned to be one of the first to establish a graphics designing company in kaduna metropolis (a community in kaduna known as "printing village ") and after being well established he decided to impact his knowledge into the youths of our community and I was opportuned to be one of them. I attended his tutorials in the company's learning department as well as my other apprentices. We were taught the basics of graphics every day. we where each provided with a mobile phone a desk top each to make the learning process suitable for us.
My Business Objective
My objective is to become a successful and Pro- Graphics Designer and to make a huge source of income through it. I started learning graphic designs when i was 16 year old, I started observing and understanding the beauty of graphics because it is a field that strives through the work of the human mind with a leap of imagination anyone can become a graphics designer. This brings me to another objective which is to make sure I impact the knowledge i was given to others so as to ensure the growth and development of my beloved country especially in the ICT sector which is quite necessary in the 21st century.

My Mission
Also, my main goal is to be able to teach more aspiring youths about Graphics Design and help them have a source of income. Since unemployment is the faster growing sector in my country, teaching these youths to be self-reliant will play a big role in my country's economy.
So I have made it my mission to decrease unemployment rate by teaching youths the act of Graphics Design and preventing them from venturing into unfriendly business.
Challenges I Face As A Designer
Since Nigeria is an undeveloped country, I do face some challenges when performing my business activities, which I'll explain below.
Electricity: This Is one one Of the problems that which Nigerians are facing right now and this situation affected me in many ways but not any more thanks to NEON INSIGNIA my sponsor this issue (as well as other issues because we have a lot of them) because of poor history of corporate governance and inadequate pricing structure to support the eco nomics of power generation in Nigeria
Conclusion
That concludes my official presentation and I hope I'll be accepted into this lovely community. I want to know more from other business owners on how they started and challenges they encountered and how they overcomed it. And I hope the little experience I'll share will help others too.
