As a remote worker, the fuel scarcity and poor electricity made it tough to keep up.
Getting fuel became a daily struggle. When I found a station with fuel, the queue was insanely long. Sometimes, they run out of fuel before it gets to my turn.
On days when I couldn’t find fuel, I had to buy from black market sellers at inflated prices. This ate into my already tight budget.
Wen I lack power, I had to either reschedule my meetings or leave my house to pay to use a workspace.
Most times, I was either late or I missed the meeting. I can’t even begin to explain this poor electricity situation.
The heat was unbearable, especially during those long hours without power.
It’s hard to focus on work when you’re sweating a lot and your computer keeps shutting down from lack of power.
It was a constant struggle just to keep things running, and felt like I was fighting a battle everyday.
Funmilola’s story highlights the harsh reality of fuel scarcity and poor electricity, revealing just how critical these issues have become.
