Nsukka Or Rayfield by Niap(op): 9:36am On Aug 10, 2025
Hello everyone.
Please I need your advice 🙏
I'm currently a remote worker based in Enugu. I'm trying to relocate to somewhere with a lower cost of living.
The two options I'm currently considering are:
1. Rayfield, Jos in Plateau State.
2. Hilltop, Nsukka in Enugu State.
I'm sure house rent is more affordable in Nsukka, but I'm more concerned about other living costs(e.g. food).
I know living costs in Jos isn't that expensive, but I don't know how it compares with Nsukka or if moving to Nsukka would be better instead. I initially preferred Jos cause it has steady electricity, but I learned Nsukka also has a very steady power supply.


Please, if you have any info regarding these places, particularly Nsukka, please let me know🙏

Rayfield Jos. Transport and feeding cost will help you save. Also very secured location. And if you need catch a flight quickly there are daily flights out of Jos

I have lived in Nsukka before, Lejja precisely in 2018. It's a cool place. Low cost of living and good economic activities. Nsukka is on the rise.
I am currently in Jos now.
Jos is a good place to hide and have low-key enjoyment until you blow out due to relatively low cost of living.

Nsukka is a city in Enugu while Rayfield is just an area in Jos. But both places are good.

Accommodation? Since you want to stay in Rayfield, the cost of accommodation in that area might be a bit higher but still reachable. Places like Abbatoir, Gold and Base, Rantya , Gwarandok and Shaka are not far from Rayfield and they enjoy steady supply of Electricity too.

Security.? It depends. No where is safe in Nigeria again.
Food supply? Yes. You got it in abundance in Jos.

Night life? It's boring in Jos. Though some people do take risk. But when it comes to restaurants and hanging out, you can pick Jos.

Economic activity and development? Like I said, we can't compare Rayfield and Nsukka. Rayfield is an area in Jos while Nsukka is a city in Enugu. Just like comparing Banana Island with Ekwulobia.
