Nigerian Mothers Speak Out: High Cost of Living and Healthcare Top Concerns

On this Mother’s Day, Nigerian mothers shared their concerns with GST about the challenges they face. The high cost of living and healthcare are major issues. One mother, a petty trader named Iya Fatai, explained how the economic situation is impacting family planning decisions: "The high cost of living is giving many people say not to give birth anymore." A lecturer, Mrs. Adewunmi, added that the lack of support for working mothers creates further difficulties: "If there's a three-year promotion in my place of work, is it possible that a woman will be given their promotion within three and a half years or four years?" These stories highlight the need for government support to empower women and improve healthcare access. The video concludes with a call for greater empowerment for Nigerian women, recognizing that educating women educates a nation.
