Big Brother Naija reality star Khloe Abiri has probed the Nigerian government over the state of things in the country.
She questioned whether the government realises that business owners are spending almost all their profits, and sometimes their entire income, on petrol to keep their businesses running.
Calling on them to do something about it, she said it is becoming unbearable to own and operate a business in the country.
Khloe noted how workers deserve better salaries, better pay, improved welfare, and good working conditions. Still, they can’t get that because their employers spend a lot to keep the business running.
“Does the Nigerian government realise that business owners are spending almost all their profits, and sometimes their entire income, on petrol just to keep their businesses running “
Dear Ma/sirs in the high places, can you please do something about this?
It is becoming unbearable to own and operate a business in this country.
Our workers deserve better salaries. We want to pay them more, improve their welfare and create better working conditions. But how do we do that when we are exhausting almost everything just trying to keep the business running?
Between petrol, electricity, rent, supplies and other operational costs, what exactly is left for business owners to grow, reinvest, or even survive?
We are not asking for luxury.
We are asking for an environment where running a legitimate business doesn’t feel like a daily battle for survival.
Please, something needs to change; Nigerian business owners are struggling”.
