Sowore: ₦100,000 Minimum Wage Still Fails to Secure a Decent Life

Sowore: ₦100,000 Minimum Wage Still Fails to Secure a Decent Life — 1 of 2
1 / 2

Activist and former presidential candidate Omoyele Sowore has argued that raising Nigeria’s minimum wage to ₦100,000 per month remains inadequate for a decent living. His remarks respond to a proposal by Kwara State Governor Abdulrahman Abdulrazaq, who recently urged President Tinubu to approve a ₦100,000 wage, noting that some states have already set that level. Sowore warned that even at that rate, workers will struggle to cover basic needs in today’s economy.

I'm not convinced a flat wage hike solves deeper issues like inflation or unemployment; won't those still erode pay value?

Employers and policymakers could pilot region-specific wage adjustments tied to inflation indices before nationwide implementation.
