Governance has failed in Akwa Ibom State. The poverty and unemployment in that State is demonic – Nigerian attorney, Inibehe Effiong says teachers, fuel attendants, supermarket workers earn 20k-30k

Nigerian attorney, Inibehe Effiong, has expressed dismay over the meager wages received by teachers, fuel attendants, supermarket employees, and other workers in Akwa Ibom state.

In a social media post on his account, Inibehe highlighted that some educators in private schools in Akwa Ibom are compensated with salaries as low as N25,000. He contended that the economy is severely weakened and questioned why many politicians can publicly flaunt their wealth without fearing repercussions from the populace.

‘’Many (if not most) private schools in Akwa Ibom State are paying teachers less than the minimum wage. Teachers in private schools in Akwa Ibom are earning averagely between 20k to 30k per month as salary.

Hotel employees and fuel attendants are also earning ridiculous amount as salary. The same applies to staff of supermarkets and recreational facilities.

These are the places that even offer little job opportunities.

Akwa Ibom is a State with a dead economy but most people are too blinded by dirty partisan politics and religion.

Governance has failed in Akwa Ibom State.

The poverty and unemployment in that State is demonic.

There is no reason why most politicians should be appearing in public comfortably without being scared of what the masses will do to them.”
