CONTROVERSY AS COVENANT UNIVERSITY PAYS STAFF 102,000 NAIRA AS GRATUITY FOR 14 YEARS OF SERVICE
Trending Photos: Covenant University allegedly paid a staff a whopping ₦102k as Gratuity for 14yrs of service.
The X post shares a N102,000 cheque image as gratuity for a Covenant University staff member’s 14 years of service, roughly N7,285 per year, sparking outrage over its inadequacy given the university’s Christian foundation by Bishop David Oyedepo.
This mirrors prior labor disputes, including 2021-2022 court orders for the university to pay over N10 million in damages and benefits to ex-staff, and a May 2025 report of unpaid terminations leading to one death, indicating recurring issues with employee entitlements.
Replies reflect public skepticism on the payment’s authenticity—possibly a monthly salary rather than final gratuity—while criticizing the ban on unions, which critics say enables such low payouts in a high-fee institution.
