Why Paying ₦100k–₦150k for Six Days of Work Doesn’t Add Up

A man has sparked debate about staff welfare in Nigeria’s tough economy. He argues many employers see workers as expenses, not investments, yet expect full-time loyalty and productivity for survival wages. He suggests that businesses unable to afford full-time staff should explore part-time roles, hybrid work models, allowances, or reduced hours instead of demanding six-day weeks for ₦100,000–₦150,000. He also points out that employees notice company growth—new equipment, renovations, more customers—while their pay stays the same. He urges employers to review salaries as revenues rise and reminds us that successful businesses are built by both good staff and good employers.
