BBNaija Khloe Berates Government Over Harsh Business Environment

Big Brother Naija reality star and actress Khloe Abiri has berated the Nigerian government over the harsh economic environment, stating that business owners are spending almost all their profits on petrol just to keep their businesses running.

The reality star and model made this known in a post shared on her Instagram story on Thursday.

Khloe questioned if those in high places realise the struggles of entrepreneurs, noting that it is becoming unbearable to own and operate a business in the country. She explained that business owners want to pay workers better salaries, improve their welfare, and create better working conditions, but they are exhausting almost everything to keep the business alive.

The actress highlighted that between petrol, electricity, rent, supplies, and other operational costs, there is barely anything left for business owners to grow, reinvest, or even survive. She clarified that entrepreneurs are not asking for luxury, but simply an environment where running a legitimate business does not feel like a daily battle for survival.

She concluded by pleading for something to change, noting that Nigerian business owners are struggling.

She wrote:
"Does the Nigerian government realise that business owners are spending almost all their profits, and sometimes their entire income, on petrol just to keep their businesses running?"

"Dear ma/sirs in the high places, can you please do something about this? It is becoming unbearable to own and operate a business in this country"

"Our workers deserve better salaries. We want to pay them more, improve their welfare and create better working conditions. But how do we do that when we are exhausting almost everything just trying to keep the business running?"

"Between petrol, electricity, rent, supplies and other operational costs, what exactly is left for business owners to grow, reinvest or even survive?"

"We are not asking for luxury. We are asking for an environment where running a legitimate business doesn't feel like a daily battle for survival."

"Please, something needs to change, Nigerian business owners are struggling."
