Almost every home in Nigeria spends some part of its monthly income on purchasing provisions. Provisions are also known as groceries, and they are a major part of our monthly budgets. When you view them as groceries, you will agree that so many items fall under this category.
You should spend some time finding out how much provisions cost on the market currently. Doing this helps you to plan and is a major part of proper financial management. This brings us to the question, “what are the provisions in Nigeria and how much do they cost?” We will answer this question and several others in this post.
