Lawyer Decries Salaries Of Teachers, Fuel Attendants, Others

Inibehe Effiong, a Nigerian lawyer, has expressed concern over the low wages earned by teachers, gasoline attendants, grocery workers, and other employees in Akwa Ibom state.

In a post on his X account, Inibehe stated that some instructors at private institutions in Akwa Ibom earn as little as N25,000.

He said that the economy is “dead” and sees no reason why most politicians should be able to speak in public without fear of what the people will do to them.

His post reads: “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 an average of between 20k to 30k per month as salary.

“Hotel employees and fuel attendants are also earning ridiculous amounts 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.”

A Gentle Reminder: Every obstacle is a stepping stone, every morning; a chance to go again, and those little steps take you closer to your dream.
