Saving from allowance

Walidah Salis, a student of Nasarawa State University, told Legit.ng how she manages the allowance she gets from parents and close family:

“I don't eat much so I get to save a significant amount from the N10,000 naira I receive weekly from my parents. Sometimes, my brothers and uncles send money to me which also helps me a lot. I also try to help others too whenever I can with the little I have.”
