A farmer expressed his worries on the X platform about the financial implications of increasing his workers' wages to N105,000.
He stated that if the federal government sets the minimum wage at this amount, he would have to increase the price of a crate of eggs from N4,000 to N10,000.
This concern arises from reports indicating that the Nigerian government might raise the minimum wage to N105,000.
In his words, “Increase salary to ₦105,000, expect me to sell a crate of egg for ₦10,000. It’s that simple.”
He added in another post;
“Nigerians are way too emotional to have a rational conversation with. A ton of Corn is N820,000, yet they want N30 eggs and N1,200 chickens whilst you pay your staff N105,000, it’s insanity at this point.”
