Background

Palmoria, a Nigerian manufacturing company, has come under scrutiny for persistent gender inequality across its three operational regions. A recent media report branded the company “Palmoria: The Manufacturing Patriarchy,” a term highlighting the dominance of men in leadership roles, decision-making positions, and key areas of influence within the organization. This label raises concerns about systemic bias and unequal opportunities for women, potentially damaging the company’s public image and limiting its ability to grow and compete globally. In addition, a new regulation was recently introduced, mandating that manufacturing companies pay employees a minimum salary of ₦90,000. As part of this analysis, we also examine whether Palmoria complies with this wage requirement.
