A Nigerian man who relocated to the United Kingdom in 2022 has shared an interesting revelation.
Despite not working in Nigeria, he continues to receive his monthly salary.
The 36-year-old now works as a taxi driver in the UK but still gets N150,000 monthly from his Nigerian job due to an agreement with his boss.
Recently, the Nigerian government promised to crack down on employees living abroad who are still receiving salaries.
President Bola Tinubu expressed shock and ordered that those involved must repay the funds obtained fraudulently.
While non-government workers also benefit from such arrangements, Daniel, the UK-based Nigerian, remains unfazed by the directive as his UK income surpasses his Nigerian salary.
He chose not to resign from his position in Nigeria in case he decides to return in the future.
Despite the government’s effort to eradicate ghost workers, cases of individuals receiving salaries without working persist.
For Daniel, the situation is different as he had an understanding with his boss, who happens to be a relative.
