Nigerian Woman Condemns Employers Paying Below ₦70,000 Minimum Wage

September 14, 2026 By Sheba James Gala
A Nigerian woman, Chioma Ifeanyi-Eze, has criticised employers who pay workers below the country’s ₦70,000 minimum wage.

In a Facebook post, she argued that employers should not simply determine salaries based on what they believe workers can afford to accept, stressing that employees deserve fair and lawful pay.

Her comments have sparked discussion about low wages, workers’ rights and the rising cost of living in Nigeria.

The post comes amid ongoing concerns over compliance with the ₦70,000 national minimum wage, approved by the Federal Government in 2024.
