The numbers are expected to grow further as Nigerians continue to battle the rising price of goods and services

According to a report by Picodi, an international e-commerce company, the price of essential foodstuff requirement for one adult stood at N40,980 Naira. This is above the N30,000 minimum wage.

In fact, seven states are yet to implement the minimum wage, meaning several Nigerians are being paid below N30,000.

Recently, President BCAN, Dr. Uju Ogubunka, listed the drivers of inactive accounts in the banks to include the increase in the prices of goods and services, low income accompanied by the low purchasing power of Nigerians, increasing rate of unemployment and immigration, among other things
