A new survey of 1,126 Nigerians between the ages of 18 and 44 has revealed a stark tension between financial aspirations and daily economic realities in the country.
The survey report was sourced from the Nigeria Financial Habits Survey 2025, conducted by Column, a United Kingdom-based research firm.
According to the report, while 79 per cent of respondents actively try to save, nearly one-fifth (19 per cent) cannot save at all due to low or unstable incomes. The findings underscore how inflation, high living costs, and fragmented financial tools hinder effective money management for young Nigerians.
