Find something to augment your income. You cannot live on one income – Presidential aide, Bayo Onanuga, tells Nigerians battling with the economic hardship

Bayo Onanuga, the Special Adviser to President Tinubu on Media and Strategy, has urged Nigerians to look for other ways to earn money. He said this while speaking on Channels TV about the country’s rising cost of living.

Onanuga explained that depending on just one income is not enough in today’s economy. He encouraged people to find additional ways to make money to cope with the financial difficulties they are facing.

Many Nigerians are struggling due to high prices of food, fuel, and other basic needs. While the government is working on solutions, Onanuga believes individuals should also take steps to improve their financial situation.

He said;

‘’What I will tell them is to bring a practical solution to them. If you are doing a job, let’s say an office assistant and earning a minimum wage or something, try to find something else to augment your income. You cannot live on one income. There is something the Americans call Moonlighting. People work in offices or do some menial jobs, they find out that one line of income cannot sustain them. They need to find something to augment it. If you have a farmland near you, cultivate it, grow your crops so they can reduce your expenses and so on. These are some practical things people can do to survive the present economy. People just have to find solutions on their own”
