Nigeria has the lowest minimum wage in the world, says a recent report by Picodi, a global e-commerce company.


The report, which examined the minimum wages received by workers in 67 countries on six continents (Asia, Africa, North, and South America, Europe, and Asia) as of January 2023, revealed that Nigerian workers received the lowest minimum wages, with the lowest earners in the nation receiving a take-home pay of $68.

India was the third-lowest paying country, with a monthly minimum wage of $95.

Compared to the current prices of food items in the nation, the report detailed that basic food sufficient to meet the minimum nutrient requirements was worth 160.4 per cent of Nigeria’s minimum wage.

This means that the lowest-paid workers’ wages increased more slowly than the cost of food, and the minimum wage is insufficient to get workers needed food items for healthy living.

With a monthly minimum wage of $2,140, Luxembourg tops the list of nations with the highest minimum wage, followed by Australia ($2,020) and New Zealand ($1,866).

Other countries with low minimum wages, besides Uzbekistan, Nigeria, and India, include Pakistan ($111), Kazakhstan ($131), Armenia ($138) the Philippines ($141), Ukraine ($146), Vietnam ($162), Indonesia ($173), Moldova ($180), Azerbaijan ($186) and Thailand ($195).

Reason, it is more lucrative to become touts and political jobbers.......

Members of Nigeria’s National Assembly are very selfish and unpatriotic

They don’t care about the people

Nigeria has the lowest minimum wage world-wide while our politicians enjoy the highest financial benefits world-wide yet some devilish idiots don't see anything wrong with our political system. They are even fighting very hard to maintain the statusquo.. But a day of reckoning is coming when the evil you are nurturing will destroy you

But our greedy leaders want to sell fuel at the same price with countries that paid well their workers.

Do we have leaders or tyrants as ruler.......

There's key pieces of information being left out. What's the productivity of the Nigerian worker? Your productivity determines your pay in any business. How long does the average worker earn minimum wage. If an employee makes minimum wage they probably have minimum skills.

Why don't states increase their minimum wages above the federal minimum? The federal minimum wage in America is $7.25.

Yet they want to sell Fuel at the same Price with Saudi

Lol you're cleanly a dunce because you only absorbed half the point. If you're skilled you don't need to worry about minimum wage because your skill set demands a wage above that. Even if an employee doesnt have all the skills necessary they'll get on the job training.

Zoo

Tinubu will fix all this be rest assured...


Nigeria Dodge a nuclear bomb waiting to explode by electing tinubu

Have your likes stopped making use of their free gifted senses.

If Nigeria is not the poorest economy in the world, how come Nigeria salary scale is the poorest.

You people should go and receive your brains from where una kept am.

Imagine relying on razor gazette information to masturbate on.

Shame

Just a PSA the company only mentioned Nigerias and South Africa's minimum wage. I don't think Nigeria has the lowest if you compare it to neighbors like Niger Republic.

Niger is not up to a state in Nigeria.......

It doesn't matter if the country is up to a state in Nigeria. If you read your own article you'd see most places mentioned aren't. What determines if these wages are sustainable is workers productivity. Niger Republics minimum wage is slightly lower. $60 per month compared to Nigeria's $68.

One day the people's mandate will be restored and happiness will return to the country, just like in Abia state.
