Families Struggle to Cope as Cost of Hiring House Helps Soars Amidst Inflation"

The soaring inflation and rising cost of living in Nigeria have impacted various sectors of the economy, and the domestic help industry is no exception. Many Nigerian families are being forced to reassess their reliance on maids due to the escalating expenses associated with their services. Amid this economic turmoil, the once-affordable service of hiring a housemaid has now become a luxury for many.

For families like that of Monica Etugbo, a mother of six, the burden of hiring domestic help has become overwhelming. "I need help, especially when all the children are not around," she explains, highlighting her need for assistance in managing household chores. "But with the way the economy is now, you're not able to take good care of yourself and you want to take out from the little you have, to pay somebody else? You have to manage."

Monica recounts a time when paying N10,000 to N15,000 for a maid was sufficient. However, today the cost has surged to as high as N40,000 to N50,000 per month. This increase, nearly a 300% rise, mirrors the broader inflationary trends affecting the country. Essentials like food items have seen a similar rise; for instance, Monica notes that the price of garri has jumped from N2,000 to N5,000 per paint bucket—a stark 150% increase.

She reflects on the toll this has taken on retirees and those with fixed incomes, explaining how hard it has become for people to even contemplate employing domestic help
