The Business of Event Staffing (How I Started an Event Staffing Agency from My Hostel) by Lucky Oyakhilome Izibili is an inspiring blend of faith, resilience, and entrepreneurship told through the eyes of a young Nigerian student who turned a hostel hustle into a thriving business.
From a cramped room in Hall 3, University of Benin, Lucky began with little more than vision, faith, and a borrowed smartphone. What started as an idea became Blueprint Ushers, a professional event staffing agency that now serves clients across Benin City and beyond. In this book, he shares not just his story but the practical lessons, biblical principles, and real-life strategies that helped him grow from a student entrepreneur to a brand leader.
Each chapter draws from real experiences — from learning to “start small” with faith, to building a team that works, branding with excellence, and sustaining success through strategy. Lucky combines spiritual insight with hands-on business wisdom, proving that God’s purpose and practical action go hand in hand.
Whether you’re a student dreaming from your hostel bed, a young entrepreneur struggling to find direction, or a professional looking to align faith with enterprise, this book will show you that every big story begins with one bold step — the decision to trust God and start now.
