Fed Poly Offa Consult Staff Earn ₦30,000 Despite ₦70,000 Minimum Wage
Over 140 staff hired under the Polytechnic Consult scheme at Federal Polytechnic Offa report earning just ₦30,000 monthly despite the national minimum wage being ₦70,000. Salaries are often delayed by weeks, forcing staff to struggle with basic needs and transport. These employees handle essential academic and administrative duties that keep the institution running. Yet they remain on insecure contracts and are overlooked for proper federal appointments. Whistleblowers say the scheme benefits connected individuals while exploiting qualified graduates. This situation raises serious labour, ethical, and accountability concerns. We urge anti-corruption agencies, labour authorities, and the education ministry to investigate the recruitment process and ensure fair wages, timely payments, and transparent hiring practices.
