What happened
Inflation and the depreciation of the naira are pushing phone prices higher in Nigeria, leading consumers to repair damaged devices rather than purchasing new ones. Repair shops are reporting increasing demand for services like screen replacements, which account for about 80 per cent of some shops' business. Technicians are also salvaging genuine components from damaged phones to lower repair costs for customers.
