Mukhtar Wakeel, a veteran journalist from Nasarawa State, has given his opinion on the minimum wage.

He said that a family can manage N70,500 minimum wage if the man avoids side chicks.

“N70, 500 minimum wage is manageable if you avoid side chicks. I come in peace,” he wrote.

He stated this on Saturday after the Nasarawa State Government reportedly approved N70,500 as new minimum wage for state workers.

His statement, as expected, has caused quite a stir on social media with people having different opinions on the matter.
