Revealed: Federal House Representative’s Monthly Salary Amid ₦30,000 Minimum Wage

From the horse’s mouth, hear what a member of the Federal House of Representatives collects as a monthly salary in a country that pays a minimum wage of ₦30,000/month.
This stark disparity between the earnings of politicians and the average Nigerian worker highlights the deep-seated issues within the country’s political and economic systems.
While the minimum wage remains at a mere ₦30,000, struggling to keep up with the rising cost of living, representatives in the Federal House are drawing significantly higher salaries, a situation that many see as unjust and indicative of the larger systemic inequality.
The Nigerian political class has long been criticized for its excessive benefits and detachment from the everyday realities of the citizens they are meant to serve.
This revelation further cements the perception of a self-serving elite more interested in their own financial gain than in the welfare of the population.
The disparity is not just a matter of numbers; it reflects a broader issue of governance, accountability, and fairness in the allocation of national resources.
As citizens grapple with economic hardships, the lavish earnings of their representatives serve as a stark reminder of the urgent need for reforms to address the growing economic divide and ensure a more equitable distribution of the nation’s wealth.

Teenage Girl Sues JAMB After Being Forced to Remove Her Hijab Before UTME Exam

A teenage girl, Lawal Hameedat Adenike, has filed a lawsuit against the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) and the PEFTI Centre after allegedly being forced to remove her hijab before sitting for the 2025 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME).
The suit was filed by her mother and legal representative, Basirat Ojo, who spoke to journalists in Abuja about the distressing incident. Ojo explained that on April 25, 2025, at the PEFTI CBT Centre in Ibadan, Oyo State, her daughter was told she could not take the exam unless she removed her hijab, which she wears as a religious obligation. Ojo described the experience as humiliating and emotionally distressing for her daughter, adding that it was a clear violation of her rights.
The lawsuit is seeking a public apology from both JAMB and PEFTI, to be published in two national newspapers. Additionally, it calls for compensation for the rights violation and a court ruling that any policy requiring female candidates to remove their hijabs is unconstitutional.
Lawal’s lawyer, Qousim Opakunle, emphasized that the case is based on constitutional rights. He argued that the directive violated Section 38 of the Nigerian Constitution, which guarantees freedom of thought, conscience, and religion, especially for minors who are vulnerable to such injustices.

JAMB 2025: Nigerians Cry Out as Students Get Shockingly Low Jamb Scores

Many Nigerians are expressing deep concern over the poor performance recorded in the 2025 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME), following the release of the results by JAMB on Friday. Social media has since been flooded with reactions from worried parents, students, and education stakeholders, many of whom believe the scores don’t reflect the true efforts of the candidates.
One user, Oluwaseun, took to X to voice his frustration, sharing a screenshot of a student named Egbaze Victoria who allegedly scored 295 in last year’s UTME but shockingly got 132 this year. “Something is seriously wrong with these results,” he wrote. “These scores don’t reflect the abilities or track records of these students.”
Another user, Chukwuma Pius, also shared his frustration, claiming JAMB sent his daughter a result that doesn’t belong to her. “This is heartbreaking,” he said. “As a retired teacher, I know what she’s capable of. The result they sent cannot be hers.”
These complaints come after JAMB disclosed that over 1.5 million candidates scored below 200 this year, sparking widespread calls for an investigation into the entire process. Reacting to the controversy, former Labour Party presidential candidate Peter Obi described the outcome of this year’s UTME as worrisome and emphasized the need for urgent reforms in the education sector.
