Why Build Chatbots for Career Guidance in Nigeria?

  • Too many students make wrong course choices (because of peer pressure, limited guidance)

  • Many schools lack enough career counsellors

  • AI chatbots can work 24/7, at scale, for low cost

  • The government and private sector are pushing AI & edtech: Nigeria’s AI education market is growing. (Nucamp)

  • Real example: Nigeria’s pilot programs using AI tutoring prove chatbots can enhance learning. (World Bank Blogs)

In short: this is needed, and there’s space for those with vision.


My Personal Story: From Confusion to Purpose

When I was in SS2 in Surulere, I wanted to study “Computer Science” because it sounded cool. But my guidance counsellor was busy, my parents unsure, and my friends were saying “banking is safer.” I made the choice, later discovered I disliked portions of it, and had to switch path midstream — painful, costly.

Years later, working with small businesses and tech start-ups (including 7hubent Tech), I realized many youths need pre-course counselling and future-job forecasting. I built a prototype chatbot which asked students their interests, strengths, what they like (arts, math, music), and returned suggestions like “UI/UX + Graphic design”, “Data analytics”, or “Digital Marketing + Social Media”. It also showed trends so they see what’s in demand.

That prototype got shared by friends in Surulere schools, and at least 50 students confirmed they changed their plans because of it. That tiny win fuels this article.

Bible Scripture for Encouragement

“But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood … that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light.”1 Peter 2:9

You are chosen to make change, to bring light. Let your chatbot be your “praise declaration” in the tech space of Nigeria.

5 Punchy Business Growth Motivations (Yours & Chatbot Project)

  1. “If you want to go fast, go alone; if you want to go far, build a platform.”
    Your chatbot is your platform. Many downstream opportunities—consulting, customizing, licensing.

  2. Small wins compound
    50 students today → word of mouth → 500 next month → paying clients next year.

  3. Leverage network effects
    If your bot connects students and mentors, users bring mentors, mentors bring more students.

  4. Low cost, high impact
    Once built, the chatbot runs cheaply — your main cost is maintenance & updates.

  5. Own the tool
    You own the chatbot logic, data, brand. That has future value—sell it, license it, expand.


Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: Do I need to know advanced coding / AI?
A: Not necessarily. You can start with rule-based logic (if-then). Over time, add ML/AI modules. Use platforms like Twilio or Dialogflow.

Q4: How do I monetize later?
A: Freemium model: basic suggestions free, premium detailed reports for fee; partner with schools, career agencies; license the bot.

Q5: How do I keep the chatbot fresh?
A: Regularly update data, monitor analytics to see what suggestions users click, add new career paths, retire outdated ones.
