As the economic conditions in the country becomes unbearable giving the further slide of the naira against the dollar and the recent news of economic recession, it appears the Federal Government is doing little to cushion the effect of the hardship on Nigerians.
A small business owner in Abuja took to her social media account to cry out about how the Federal Government served them 24 hours quit notice to vacate their shop building which has been on the ground for 5 years.
The business owner, @chloescupcakeheaven wrote on her Instagram page:
“So in the wake of the demolition of @nulijuice and other small business trying to make a difference in our economy, we got this marked on our wall today with a lot of officials and soldiers in tow. This marking says 24hrs notice. 24hrs notice? We’ve been in this building doing business for 5 years and you give us 24hrs notice at almost the close of business for demolition. I don’t get it Nigeria!
How much more are entrepreneurs supposed to take in this country? Our country is in a recession and this is what the Govt deems necessary at this point in time. A lot of other buildings were marked but how do you mark a building at the close of business for demolition the next day and don’t even give the affected parties a listening ear? What is the justification for this sort of animalistic behaviour in this country? #smallbusinessesmatter”
