How Fuel Hike Is Pushing Abuja Residents To Public Transport

from Nigeria Daily · host Luqman Awwal Agono

As petrol prices continue to rise, many residents of Abuja are being forced to rethink how they move around the city. For some, owning a car is no longer a convenience but a burden, as the cost of fueling it becomes increasingly difficult to sustain. Is keeping a private car now a luxury, or are Nigerians simply adapting to a new economic reality?Today on Nigeria Daily, we speak with a car owner who has parked his vehicle and turned to public transport, another who now carries passengers to cope with rising costs, and an economist who breaks down the wider impact of the fuel hike and what can be done to cushion the effects.
