Many events take place in one day and in each of these events, people take pictures. Also, people take pre-wedding photos, snap pictures in birthday parties and even church occasions.

Also, some banners and billboards we see on the roads are from no other place than the graphic design studio, and these are notices that changes after each occasion. So if your financial stand is strong enough to open any of these studios, then you need not wait. 

8) Tutoring

Organizing tutorial classes is another way of making money in Akwa Ibom state. Many parents need personal tutors for their children, and students who want to write examinations also need people who can make the work easy for them to understand. So you can start thinking in the direction of starting your own tutorial centre so as to make money in exchange for your knowledge.

9) Building an Even Centre

Though this involves so much capital, but can be profiting to anyone who can afford its construction.

Uyo, in particular, has little or no event centres at this moment and many of the national and international conferences that would have been held in the state are being transferred to other places. Think of this business if you have the capital to start.
