For many Nigerian students, life on campus isn’t just about lectures, exams, and hostel life. It’s also about innovation, hustle, and making the most of every opportunity. One platform that’s empowering students across the country to build, grow, and succeed is CampusSales.com.ng—Nigeria’s #1 student-focused online marketplace.

Launched to help students buy and sell items safely and affordably within their campus communities, CampusSales.com.ng has quickly become more than just a classifieds site. It’s a launchpad for young entrepreneurs and a bridge for students looking to earn extra income. Below, we highlight the inspiring journeys of Nigerian students who turned this platform into a stepping stone for financial success.

1. Chidiebere – The Tech Reseller from UNILAG

Chidiebere, a third-year engineering student at the University of Lagos, always had a passion for technology. When he discovered CampusSales.com.ng, he saw a business opportunity.

He began by selling his old phone and laptop. The quick sales inspired him to start buying fairly used phones from his local area and reselling them on the platform. Within six months, Chidiebere had built a small brand, with students across multiple campuses trusting him for quality gadgets at fair prices.

“CampusSales gave me the right audience—students who actually needed what I was offering. I’ve made over ₦500,000 in profit in less than a year,” he says.

2. Amina – The Budget Fashionista from ABU Zaria

Amina, a student of Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria, had always been passionate about fashion. But as a student, she couldn’t afford to open a physical boutique or run expensive ads.

Through CampusSales.com.ng, she started selling thrift clothing and accessories from her room. By using clear photos and honest descriptions, she quickly gained regular buyers on campus and beyond.

Today, Amina runs an Instagram fashion page, and her CampusSales profile still gets daily inquiries.

“I didn’t need a shop to start my brand—just my phone and CampusSales.com.ng,” Amina explains.

3. Tunde – Textbook Trader at FUTA

Tunde, a final-year student at the Federal University of Technology, Akure, noticed a huge demand for textbooks, especially at the start of each semester. He began collecting used textbooks from graduating students and selling them on CampusSales.com.ng.

Not only did he make money, but he also saved many students from having to buy expensive new books.

“The platform made it easy to reach students on my campus and even other schools. I ended up turning it into a seasonal business that now runs itself,” Tunde says proudly.

4. Sandra – Campus Essentials Seller from UNN

Sandra from the University of Nigeria, Nsukka, started by selling simple items: power banks, hostel bedding, and kitchen utensils. She targeted 100-level students who were new to campus and needed essentials quickly.

She bundled items and marketed them as “Campus Starter Packs” on CampusSales.com.ng. Her unique approach went viral, and she now supplies items in bulk to student associations.

“If you solve a real problem, you’ll always find buyers. CampusSales gave me the platform to test and grow my idea,” she says.

Why These Stories Matter

Each of these students started with what they had: a phone, an idea, and access to a network of students on CampusSales.com.ng. They weren’t established business owners—they were just students who saw a gap and filled it.

The beauty of CampusSales.com.ng lies in its simplicity. It’s easy to list items, the platform is built for students, and the audience is relevant. These success stories prove that with the right mindset, even a simple listing can spark a profitable venture.
