N60,000 Earners in Nigeria Better Off Than Many Abroad — Bwala

The Special Adviser to the President on Media and Policy Communications, Daniel Bwala, has said many Nigerians earning modest incomes at home are better off than some of their counterparts who relocated abroad in search of greener pastures.

Speaking on The Morayo Show, Bwala said many Nigerians who migrated, particularly to the United Kingdom, now work in care homes, warehouses and other jobs unrelated to their university qualifications despite earning salaries in foreign currencies.

According to him, the high cost of living abroad leaves many migrants with little disposable income after paying for rent, transportation, utility bills and other expenses, forcing some to take on multiple jobs to survive.

Bwala described the situation as “modern-day slavery,” arguing that many migrants struggle despite earning between £2,600 and £2,800 monthly.

He added that Nigerians earning as little as ₦60,000 monthly may still enjoy a stronger support system through family and friends, unlike many citizens living abroad with no one to rely on.
