Senator representing Bayelsa east senatorial district, Ben Murray Bruce has said that it is impossible to fight corruption with workers earning just N18,000 as minimum wage.
The Senator who gave the statement via social media also said that it is not Nigerians that are corrupt but the system they found themselves into.
When the actual cost of living is somewhere around ₦60k per month and minimum wage is ₦18k there is no way you can fight corruption!

It is not Nigerians that are corrupt. It is their system that is corrupt. If you don't change that system, you can't ever end corruption.

If minimum wage earners cant afford the cost of living, the maximum wage earner wont be able to sleep at night because of fear for his life!

Nigeria's MINIMUM WAGE of ₦18k will (not may) soon lead to MAXIMUM WAGE if it remains the same while the cost of everything else skyrockets!
