SHOCKING! REP MEMBERS EARNS BETWEEN 8M AND 12M MONTHLY

A report revealed that each member of the
House of Representatives earns between N8m and N12m as running cost per month

This is coming barely a week after Senator Shehu Sani revealed that each senator earns a stable sum of N13.5m monthly

Chairman of House
Committee on Media and Public Affairs,
Abdulrazak Namdas, allegedly did not deny
the report Following the stunning revelation by
Senator Shehu Sani that the Nigerian senators earn a stable sum of N13.5m
monthly, another investigation has
revealed that each member of the House
of Representatives earns between N8m and N12m as running cost per month.

A legislative source who spoke to the media said that because of their high number (360), members of the House received slightly
lower amount of running cost than senators.

The source reportedly said: " For the money to go round, the reps usually take lower than senators. Depending on the
flow of allocation into the account of the National Assembly, the running cost for members is between N9.3m and N12m.

There are times though when what is available is N8m.”

A member representing one of the federal constituencies in Ondo state, who spoke on conditions of anonymity, said:

“Our (monthly) running cost is not stable.
It fluctuates. There were some months that we collected N8m.

“We are supposed to be collecting N12m every month but most of the time we make do with whatever they give us.

“There are things we don’t even know in the entire arrangement because the
shortfall will not be included in our
subsequent allocations.

The whole thing is
shrouded in secrecy. Only the presiding officers know the correct situation.”

This medium gathered that the running cost excluded the monthly salary of between N600, 000 and N1m paid to members.

Investigations reportedly showed that
until 2010, members of the National
Assembly were paid running cost
quarterly, but received their salaries monthly.

The quarterly allocation or running cost of each member was between N27.9m and N35m.
