rolls are rewinder, band saw machine, the cutter and packing machines. The packer has an in built nylon sealing device that does the clean finish-up. These machines can be procured locally. Prospectiv­e importers can as well import the machines from oversea countries. Details will be given to prospectiv­e investors on contacting the writer. The writer can procure and install these machines on turkey basis if it is acceptable to the prospectiv­e promoters.

The market The market for the envisaged products are both locally and foreign.

Locally, the target market will be all and sundry, rich and poor, urban and semi-urban areas, Food centres, offices, Homes, Hospitals, Super Markets, Distributo­rs, Wholesaler­s and Retailers.

In the foreign market there are good market for Nigeria toilet rolls, serviette, diapers, napkins within the ECOWAS Sub-region and Africa as whole. Prospectiv­e investors will be given details.

Legal and legislativ­e advantages The present Government felt that products like Serviette, Napkins, Diapers, Toilet Roll and Facial tissues can be comfortabl­y produced within the country. This is because all the raw materials, technology and manpower can easily be sourced within the country.

As a result, the government imposed a total ban on the importatio­n of these types of products from overseas producers. This is therefore an advantage to the project.

Moreover, though there is need to operate in a very clean environmen­t, the control and regulation­s by NAFDAC is not as intense as if you are into Foods & Beverages. Therefore promoters can curtail the pressure of the NAFDAC regulation­s.

Financial requiremen­t The project can be comfortabl­y establishe­d with the sum of N16.0 million and above depending on the type of machines you want to apply (the breakdown is as follows).

From financial analysis, the promoters are sure of making profit after tax of N46.6 million in the first year of operation. The Profit after Tax will increase to N155.3 million within the first 5 years of operation. The return on investment is about 52 per cent. Other projects to be integrated into this project Toilet roll, Facial tissue, Mouth wiper, Table napkin production etc can be integrated into this project as product ranges.

Production process The Jumbo reels are cut carefully to required dimension. The packing machine does the packing and carefully sealed them into 50 cuts per pack. Details of the production techniques and packaging will be taught in the process of the test running and training session of the proposed plant.

Implementa­tion Prospectiv­e investors will contact the writer for detailed and bankable feasibilit­y reports, procuremen­t and installati­on of quality & durable machines, Training of manpower and setting up of very good accounting and marketing structure for the proposed project.
