Where do I learn how to produce liquid soap in Nigeria

I want to learn about soap production, I like to know much about liquid because I have interest in that, what i'm after now is where to learn from.

I'm currently in Lagos, Ikeja area. Is there anywhere here anyone can recommend to me. And what are the things needed to produce liquid soap?.

 

I know of somewhere but it quite far from your mentioned location.

Why no learn it online, then get the materials and try what you learned out. I get all the things I needed here online.

 

Nice idea @Favour

 

There is practical video on YouTube. If you can't learn from there then let me know I will write about it for you here or give you video. I sray in Oshodi, so you are not far from me.

 

Hmm, but you forgot to add something @Andrew which is are the requirement needed so i'm still the boss. Lol
