How to Survive the Fuel Price Hike in Nigeria
The price of fuel has increased as the new president of Nigeria announced the removal of subsidies. Hence, the cost of products and services is rising and will skyrocket drastically in the coming weeks. Unfortunately, citizens’ salaries remain stagnant. Instead of simply complaining, consider the following actions:
- Reduce expenses: Examine your spending patterns and eliminate unneeded costs.
2. Start a side hustle: Look into other ways to make money, such as starting a small business or freelancing.
3. Upskill for higher pay: Invest in yourself by learning new skills and information.
4. Japa! If practical and desired, consider researching opportunities in countries such as the United States, Canada, or the United Kingdom for improved prospects.
As Nigerians, we must recognize that government policies are beyond our control, but we can prosper in the face of adversity if we take charge of our own success!
