Is ₦70,000 enough? many Nigerians and labour groups argue that ₦70,000 is not a living wage, given inflation, food prices, transport costs, and subsidy removal impacts. Some states have voluntarily raised wages above ₦70,000 Imo ₦104,000; Ebonyi ₦90,000; Lagos ₦85,000

So, what should the minimum wage be?
There is no single official figure beyond the ₦70,000 law, but labour unions maintain that a realistic living wage should be far higher, with earlier demands around ₦494,000 or more
