A photo circulating on X (formerly Twitter) has sparked outrage after allegedly showing a Covenant University staff member receiving just ₦102,000 as gratuity for 14 years of service.
The image, which displays a recently dated cheque, has triggered backlash against the institution owned by Bishop David Oyedepo’s Living Faith Church.
The viral post shared by user @Engrbimmy reads:
DON'T MISS
“When a university said to be founded and run by God himself pays you a gratuity of 102k after 14 years of service.
It’s either God is wicked or the university isn’t run by God.”
Netizens condemned the alleged payment, calling it a “mockery” of hard work and loyalty. Many pointed out that ₦102,000 — roughly ₦7,285 per year — was an unworthy sum from a university with some of the highest tuition fees in Nigeria.
However, some users questioned the authenticity of the cheque, suggesting it could represent a monthly salary rather than a gratuity.
