Back-to-school season in Nigeria often comes with heavy expenses — school fees, uniforms, books, transportation, and even gadgets. For many families, these costs pile up at once, making it tough to pay from just one month’s salary.
That’s where Back-to-School Loans can help. But before you rush to borrow, it’s important to know when a loan makes sense and when it doesn’t.
When Back-to-School Loans Make Sense
Covering Essential School Fees
Education is non-negotiable. If fees are due and you don’t want your child missing school, a loan can bridge the gap.
When You Have a Clear Repayment Plan
If you know your next salary, business income, or other funds will comfortably cover repayment, then a loan is a smart move.
Avoiding Disruption in Education
Rather than delaying or withdrawing a child from school, borrowing can ensure continuity in learning.
When Back-to-School Loans Don’t Make Sense
Borrowing for Luxury Items
Taking a loan for designer bags, extra gadgets, or non-essential back-to-school shopping is a trap.
No Repayment Plan
If you’re unsure how you’ll repay, avoid borrowing. Debt without strategy leads to stress.
Borrowing More Than You Need
Stick to the essentials. Borrowing extra “just in case” can leave you struggling later.
