I Can’t Collect Anything Less Than N136k As Salary: Man Who Has Been Jobless for a Year Reveals in Video

  • A young Ghanaian graduate has recently revealed in an interview that, although he is unemployed, he would reject any job offer with a salary lower than Ghc2000
  • The confident man who appeared to know what his value is said, he possesses the right skills and certifications to receive a much better salary
  • He also mentioned that receiving anything below Ghc2000 as salary in Accra would be pointless given the high standard of living

A young Ghanaian man has recently granted an interview with Citi Newsroom and revealed that although he has been jobless for a year now, taking anything less than Ghc2000 (N136,258.29) as salary is out of the question.

The bold young man, whose name was not disclosed, made this statement at the just ended Youth Employment Agency (YEA) job fair held at the Accra international conference centre from Thursday, September 9, 2021, to Friday, September 10, 2021.
