Godwin Chuka, a 55-year-old civil servant, said savings remain his top financial priority in 2025.
“Savings come first because you’re sure your money is safe,” he told BusinessDay. “Investing isn’t a bad idea, but with how volatile the economy is, nothing is guaranteed.” If he were to invest, Chuka said he would opt for low-risk federal government securities.
Similarly, Juliet Nwamiri, a 25-year-old employee at a corporate firm, told BusinessDay that she is also prioritising savings this year, as she plans to start her own business.
