The wellbeing of citizens, in any human society, is expected to be the major concern of the leaders, in whose possession the societal resources lies. The trust given the social administrators is prudent management of the finances especially in ensuring the attainment of the capital and recurrent expenses of the citizens. In Nigeria's situation, the reverse is the case where administrators loot and embezzle the fund meant for social upkeep. This in essence create loggerheads between the leaders and the labour leaders who feel that periodic increment in labour emolument should be a normal thing free from rancor or work to rule. This paper contest the administrative style implored by the average Nigerian leaders towards their workers welfare especially as it concerns the determination of an ideal minimum wage for the average worker. It however conclude that if looting must be a thing of the past, the leaders must put in place stringent laws that will deal severely with any leader that misappropriate any fund meant for social upkeep.
