About FUDJISMA Project

FUDJISMA project is a project designed by the Federal University Dutse with the basic intent of uniting the entire businesses in Jigawa state under one umbrella for the purpose of unity and control. The word FUDJISMA is an acronym for Federal University Dutse & Jigawa Support Marketers Association. After our pilot study on the businesses in jigawa state, it became clear to us that if we can restructure and organize the businesses and create a responsive chain of command amongst the marketers, we are 95% confident that Jigawa State will be an icon in the field of successful modern business transformation in Nigeria and the second commercial centre in Northern Nigeria, in few years to come.

With this perspective in mind we are approaching the snow ball worthy ideal in phases. In order to succeed we have to define success in this context. We therefore looked at success as a progressive realization of a worthy ideal. This worthy ideal (FUDJISMA project) is being driven on certain goals. The goals for phase 1 of the FUDJISMA project is centered towards organizing the marketers and uniting them under a single umbrella and also to carry out a research on the status of the marketers and the businesses in Jigawa state and hence proffer a realistic and feasible suggestions on the way forward.
