Nigeria’s minimum wage, lowest among 7 selected African countries


Nigeria’s minimum wage, the benchmark for money receivable by workers in Africa’s biggest economy at N30, 000, is the lowest among seven selected countries across Africa, a BusinessDay’s findings have shown.

Using an average N1,500 to a dollar exchange rate, a Nigerian worker goes home at the end of 30 working days with a meagre $20, an amount not enough to afford a half bag of rice in the present economy.

Meanwhile, as at 2023, workers in Seychelles, Libya, Morocco, Gabon, South Africa, Mauritius and Equatorial Guinea have $456, $325, $315, $256, $242, $240 and $224 respectively as their minimum “take home” at the end of the month.

The same states that are now distributing invisible palliatives.

Do You Know That It Was God Almighty That Block The Brain Eyes & Sense of Mr Mammoud Yakubu Not to Rig Abia State Gubernatorial Election,
Praise The Lord

But other state governorship election was rigged

A whole 31？ THEN, troubles loom. Watch it.

Be rest assured that Anambra state is among the remaining 5 that didn't receive bailout, Gov Charle Soludo is doing more without borrowing, first class economist no be beans we don't run propaganda government in Anambra state

God bless you my brother

That's why our friends in the south east have resorted to what they do best. Eating each other.

Most of the states that exist in Nigeria need to be scrapped because they are resource drain. There is absolutely zero incentive to have these states because they do not have any IGR to sustain them besides the federal government monthly allocation and these state governors just sit around doing nothing waiting for their federal allocations which are completely squandered. The FGN is so bloated, it's only a matter of time before the entire system implodes because you cannot continue to borrow to sustain a poorly ran government. Nigeria's problem isn't resources, but poor leadership and until Nigerians become brutally honest with themselves beyond tribe and religion the collective lot with continue to suffer.

Useless Bello number 1.
