By: Oluwapelumi

In Remo, residents and traders are expressing their frustrations over the high cost of living, which has had a significant impact on the recent Christmas celebration. The community has witnessed a decline in the festive spirit due to the financial strain faced by many. Traders, in particular, have been hit hard, with the double cost of products leading to reduced patronage.

In an interview with a local trader, Mrs. Adeola, she shared her concerns about the challenging economic conditions. “The increase in prices has made it difficult for people to afford the goods they need. As a result, our sales have significantly decreased, affecting our livelihoods,” she said. Mrs. Adeola pleaded with the government to take action and work towards improving the country’s economy, stating, “We need measures in place to make life more affordable for the average citizen.”

The community as a whole echoes these sentiments, urging the government to address the rising cost of living and create an environment where everyone can thrive.
