Nigeria's vice president Yemi Osinbajo has stated that he and President Muhamadu Buhari are underpaid for the position they hold in government.
Speaking at the end-of-year seminar of the State House Press Corps he said he earns about N1.5m as Vice-President while Buhari earns about N1.75 million.
To him, the pay is not commensurate with the offices they occupy.
He also accused the private sector of not treating their workers well.
”The private sector does not respect the minimum wage. Even if a minimum wage is set nationally, it is not necessarily respected by the private sector and this is something that should be factored in to the status of a company and whether a company is even complying with the requirements.”
