It looks like this would be a monthly figure. Based on this source minimum wage currently sits at 30.000 Naira ($22,45) /month.
From what I understand it is higher than what it was set at in the 80s, but the value of the Naira did drop quite a bit over time (when compared to the US dollar)
According to this website the 1981 wage would have been equivalent to $204, while the 2024 wage is equivalent to $24
That’s insane. I’d strike too.
