In today’s economy, one source of income is no longer enough. As food, rent, and transport prices rise across Nigeria, learning how to make money online or offline has become essential. Whether you’re a student, 9-5 worker, or small business owner, side hustles can be your financial safety net.
Here are 10 of the best side hustles in Nigeria for 2025—covering both digital and physical opportunities:
