Professor of Political Economy Pat Utomi has expressed concern over the meager salaries of university professors in Nigeria. In a recent video posted on his verified X account, Utomi stated that professors earn less than N500,000 per month, while politicians spend millions of naira on electoral campaigns. He further highlighted the stark contrast between the salaries of professors and the financial commitments of politicians.
Utomi pointed out that 70% of Nigerians earn no more than N100,000 per month, making it a struggle to even fill their cars' gas tanks. He questioned how people manage to survive under such circumstances and highlighted the significant disparity in earnings between university professors and politicians. Utomi emphasized the need to address this inequality, noting that it is perplexing how politicians can afford millions of naira for primaries when professors barely earn enough to cover essential expenses.
