To illustrate his point, he revealed that he personally pays his cleaner a monthly salary of N60,000, which he arrived at considering the cost of living and his conscience.

Oshiomhole emphasized that he couldn’t pay his cleaner any less, considering her circumstances, such as having four children to support. He explained that even though N60,000 might not provide a comfortable living standard, it represents the “irreducible minimum” for her survival.

He further mentioned that he would compensate his driver and security personnel more than his cleaner due to the additional responsibilities and training they require.
