- [ ] Cosmos Cover Enterprise Proposal Cosmos clover enterprise is a sole proprietorship business located around Mallam Atta and deals in the sales of all aluminum profiles, accessories and alocobooard. We also train people to become fabricators in aluminum made products. Our staff is currently consist of 6 people. We ventured in this business because we saw the need to bring these aluminum products close to our neighborhood since more people around Nima, Mamobi, Kotobabi, Kawokudi, Kanda and it environs are becoming fabricators in this field and training others in this field to help them have some skills so they can make some end meat out of it. The areas to get these products is a little farther from our place and so we bringing them close has really helped in terms of transportation, time convenience and other necessary things that increases productivity and efficiency. We also have the avenue for young people who are not able to further their academics to learn a skill.

01.02 What is the main problem you are trying to solve?

That is why we need great support so we can take the responsibility of employing these ones so they can put their skills into better use. Some of them are just around and increasing social vice in this communities and so we want to help such people as they have a skill in the aluminum fabrication so their time can be spent profitably and also they will earn income which will help them come out of social vices such as stealing and fraudulent acts. Our vision is to employ more people and help them earn income in order to provide for themselves and their families.

Also, the time spent to bring these items home before working on them has drastically reduced and people have the opportunity to even complete their work at shop before going back to their shops. Thirdly those who don’t have shops have the opportunity to do their full work at our premises and just go and fix them. We have provided convenience and increase efficiency and productivity at large.
