An alleged salary document linked to Moniepoint has surfaced online, igniting fresh debate over pay standards in Nigeria’s tech sector.

The document, which began circulating on social media, comes days after the company’s CEO raised concerns about the availability of global-standard talent in the country.

Leaked pay details raise questions

The document was shared by an X user, @unkleAyo, who claimed it reflects a Quality Assurance role package at the fintech company.

According to the post, the annual salary is put at about ₦1.9 million, a figure that quickly drew attention.

“This is currently circulated as what Moniepoint offers for a Quality Assurance role. ₦1.9M per year,” the user wrote.

The claim further compared the figure to global earnings, suggesting it translates to roughly $1,300 annually.

Work terms outlined in document

Details in the alleged offer also included standard working hours from 8am to 5pm, with the possibility of extended hours depending on operational needs.

It noted that extra hours may not attract additional compensation unless approved by the company.

The document further stated that employees are expected to remain fully committed to assigned duties, attend meetings, and comply with internal policies.

Bonus structure included

Beyond the base pay, the package reportedly features a performance-based bonus ranging from 0 to 50 percent of the annual salary.

The base compensation itself was listed at approximately ₦1,894,736 per year, subject to deductions.

Online reactions intensify debate

The development has triggered mixed reactions online, with many questioning whether such compensation aligns with ambitions to build globally competitive teams.

Others argued that salary structures must reflect market realities, while some urged caution, noting that the document has not been officially confirmed by the company.

The conversation adds to a growing debate around talent, compensation, and competitiveness within Nigeria’s evolving tech ecosystem.
