High Fuel Prices: People would rather trek than pay to board a Maruwa

Guardian Nigeria

Fuel prices in Nigeria are soaring, and it's hitting commuters hard! Forget the "Maruwa" or "Keke Maruwa" – these once affordable three-wheelers are becoming a luxury. Many are now choosing to trek for miles, a stark sign of the economic pressures facing everyday Nigerians.   This shift highlights the profound impact of persistently high fuel costs on daily life. The beloved "Keke Maruwa," a staple for short trips, is being sidelined as people find more budget-friendly, albeit strenuous, alternatives. It's a tough reality for many trying to navigate rising transportation expenses.   #FuelPrices #NigeriaCommute #Economy
