As a sole proprietor, I entered business with the initial goal of making as much money as I would have gained if I was a University graduate earning a 'good salary'. Unfortunately, I have never been in the job market, so I have no idea what a good salary is!

So I need your help. What kind of salaries are graduates earning in various industries (banking, IT, consulting, et cetera)? What constitutes a 'good salary' in Nigeria, especially the Lagos area? I want to know so I can set a definite monthly income target. Thanks.

A good salary is really difficult to determine as this in mine own opinion will depend on individual understanding and economy

600k shud be the minimum for a graduate with Bsc.

simplebb:


Lol, u speak as if Nigeria is a sane country.

To even get job of 50k is hard.
To me the acceptable Minimum should be 150k for a start, However salaries varies across boards due to the level of organization (how small or big it is) and what they are into.

Between 500 and 800k per month.
Because if we take it per hour.
Pets say 2000 naira per hour and someone puts in 12hours/ day....that's within the Range.

After all, UNITED STATES has 3900 Naira/ Hour as MINIMUM WAGE.....
that's the Lowest someone can earn there.
..including DISH washers, CHEF, Private Security Personnel.
Truly, NIGERIANS are soaked in Poverty..
I learnt some TEACHERS are paid 18k/ month.
That's about 63 Naira / hour

I will not stop telling people to sell their properties and relocate.
U shouldn't experience HELL twice.

It's really a pity that some graduates today earn less than 40K a month...

This Nigeria eh...People spend so much money on education

I wonder how graduates in cities like Lagos and Abuja survive

I think it should be like 250k for someone who's married and 100k for singles
But how many companies can even pay such amount

It is not only happening in nigeria & africa there are countries in Europe where it''s like that...

People should just learn to be self employed,these day's it nolonger job waitin for you..

MhizzAJ:


Exactly
But i think it's worse in this country plus everything that's going on now

It's better to learn a trade

The question is hw much is a good salary in Nigeria and assuming we take our economy and some oda factors into play then 150k is poor by all standards, including the Nigerian standard.
