Abuja-based politician Austin Okai has sparked online debate after arguing that workers earning below ₦300,000 monthly in the Federal Capital Territory face severe financial hardship. He said the naira’s declining value has weakened salaries and made it difficult for many residents to afford essentials. He cited the rising costs of rent, food and transportation in Abuja. Okai urged workers to consider business as an alternative source of income, saying salaries below ₦300,000 no longer guarantee a decent standard of living in the city.
