Nigerias worsening roads push hire-purchase drivers into financial debt.

Nigerian commercial drivers who rely on hire-purchase agreements are struggling with rising repair bills due to worsening road conditions, exacerbating their financial burdens. The prolonged downtime caused by poor roads is further eroding already fragile finances.

Commercial drivers across Nigeria who have turned to hire-purchase agreements to purchase their vehicles are facing a growing financial burden due to the worsening state of road networks. As they spend increasingly long hours on the road, repair bills are mounting, exacerbating already significant debts tied to their loans. The prolonged wear and tear on vehicles is largely attributed to the country's deteriorating infrastructure, leaving drivers with little choice but to continue making payments despite dwindling funds. This trend poses a significant financial strain on an already vulnerable group of workers.
