The rate in Tanzania, for instance, is 60%. The report compares Nigeria with Mexico in terms of legal minimum paid annual leave which is reportedly less than 10 days. "Mexicans, apart from the longest hours, are also subjected to one of the meanest holiday regimes in the world: their legal minimum paid annual leave is less than 10 days, like in Nigeria, Japan and China, for example, while regional neighbours Brazil offer a minimum of between 20 to 23 days," BBC states in the report.
