A farmer shared on the X platform his concerns about the cost impact of raising his workers’ wages to N105,000.
He explained that if the federal government sets the minimum wage at N105,000, he would need to raise the price of a crate of eggs from N4,000 to N10,000.
This comes in response to reports suggesting the possibility of the minimum wage being increased to N105,000 by the Nigerian government.
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.”
