A Special Adviser to President Bola Tinubu on Policy Communication, Daniel Bwala, has said a Nigerian working in the United Kingdom and earning between £2,600 and £2,800 monthly could, in some respects, be worse off than someone earning ₦60,000 in Nigeria.
He spoke during an appearance on the Morayo Afolabi Brown Show which aired on Wednesday.
Bwala broke down the cost of living for Nigerian workers in the UK, saying the income was quickly eroded by expenses.
He said, “When they go there and do a job, on average they earn about £2,600 or £2,800 a month.
“2,450 goes off. You pay power, internet, TV, rent. When you put them together, rent alone is about 800.
