Senator, Ben Murray-Bruce has overtime called the attention of Federal Government to the meager minimum wage of N18, 000. He recently said that such salary can only force civil servants to steal or become very poor, while on the other hand, people who work so hard have no reason to be extremely poor.


"No one who works should be extremely poor. A minimum wage of ₦18k is equivalent to $40 which is $1.40 a day. That is an extremely poor wage.


Imagine the type of poverty that a man earning 18,000 Naira goes through. His take home pay can not even pay his transport to and from work!" He said on Twitter.
