New Year Resolutions never go out of style. From weight loss to working harder, the list is usually endless. Some people make it elaborate and write it down, maybe paste it somewhere where it will be a daily reminder. Others just know there are a few things they want to focus on in the New Year. Regardless of which group you fall under, resolutions show tenacity and hope for the New Year.
The Next Edition talked to some Nigerians to find out what their new year resolutions are. Here’s what they had to say.
