A man employed at a cafeteria within the University of Ilorin (UNILORIN) who earned a monthly wage of 15,000 has reportedly been sacked after confronting his employer over an unpaid June salary. The worker says he received only 10,000 when he asked for the owed pay, and was subsequently terminated from his role at the eatery.<br><br>The incident was first brought to public attention in a post shared on X (formerly Twitter) by the user @Wisdomiel, who provided a short account of what happened and included a screenshot related to the exchange. According to the post, the employee had not been paid for June andfacing urgent school-related expensesreached out to his manager to request the outstanding amount.<br><br> In his post, the man explained that he called his boss to explain his situation and request the unpaid wage. Rather than receiving the full 15,000 he was entitled to for the month, the boss sent a partial payment of 10,000. The worker says that shortly after accepting the partial payment and explaining his need, he was dismissed from his position without further compensation or explanation.<br><br> <b>Last month, I was sacked from my job at an eatery in Unilorin, where I earned 15,000 monthly. In June, they didnt pay my salary, so I called my boss to explain that I urgently needed the money for school stuff. He sent me 10,000, and shortly after, I was sacked</b>, he wrote in the post shared by @Wisdomiel, according to the screenshot circulated online.<br><br> The post has prompted questions from members of the online community about labour practices at small campus eateries and the protections available to low-paid workers who depend on punctual wages to cover school fees and other essential costs. Several commentators called for the eaterys management to explain its actions and for university authorities to look into the matter, given the workers claim that his dismissal followed directly after asking for legally owed pay.<br><br><b>Labour rights advocates note that even informal and low-wage employees are entitled to fair treatment and prompt payment for services rendered.</b> Observers also highlighted the power imbalance that can leave students and other vulnerable workers reluctant to press for full wages for fear of retaliation, such as termination.<br><br>Attempts to reach the eaterys management for comment have not been included in the post shared on X. The workers account, as published by @Wisdomiel, is currently the primary piece of evidence circulating online; however, interested parties have urged further verification and a formal response from the eatery and any relevant campus authorities.<br><br>As the story continues to circulate on social platforms, several users have suggested practical steps for the displaced worker, including contacting campus student services, the universitys labour relations office (if available), or local worker-rights organisations that assist with wage disputes and wrongful dismissals. Others encouraged witnesses or anyone with additional information to come forward to corroborate the account<br><br><br><a rel=ugc href="https://www8.justnaija.com/viral/unilorin-eatery-sacks-worker-earning-15k-month-after-he-asked-for-june-salary-pays-10k-instead-f35259/">https://www8.justnaija.com/viral/unilorin-eatery-sacks-worker-earning-15k-month-after-he-asked-for-june-salary-pays-10k-instead-f35259/</a>
