Actress Mary Njoku offers N1M to anyone with proof that she pays graduates poorly
Njoku says she values everyone that works in her company.
Nigeria actress Mary Njoku has offered to pay anyone with proof that she underpays the graduates working for her company.
The movie star and her husband Jason Njoku of Iroko TV have come under severe backlash after he said N4.6M as tuition fee is cheap.
According to those who called them out, they wondered how their staff would be able to pay such an amount of money for tuition when they are underpaid.
While reacting to the backlash, Njoku asked anyone with proof that staff in her company are underpaid.
"I want to apologize for speaking about meritocracy. For speaking up for smart people who work hard but underpaid cos they couldn't afford to further their education. I apologize. I run ROK. And we value our employees irrespective of their educational qualification," she wrote.

The Njokus are one of Nigeria's most influential celebrity couples.
Jason is the co-founder and CEO of iROKOtv, a video-on-demand service for Nigerian movies.
They have three children.
