And being realistic is not about collecting a salve wage. Never.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd we have a breakdown of this into 30 items. Accommodation is about N40,000. I want you to tell me where you can get a room and a parlour for N40,000 in Abuja. Electricity\/power we allocated N20,000. The current tariff will not last you for more than one week.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cUtility and water is just N10,000. The cooking gas cylinder is filled for N14,000. You have to buy twice a month as the case may be. Food for six people: four children plus husband and wife. We allocated N9,000 per day. It\u2019s N1,500 per person. If you calculate it, you get N240,000 per month. We look at medical and allocated N50,000, assuming you are not on admission and no major ailment.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEducation we allocated N50,000, assuming your children are on free education. Sanitation, N10,000. Transportation, N3,000 for 30 days. If you sum all the items up, you will have N615,000,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/nigeria\">Nigeria<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Nigeria.
