  • Muhammed Shehu, the commission’s Chairman, asserts that political officeholders do not receive excessive salaries
  • The review has been postponed due to economic challenges, as confirmed in a recent interview with newsmen

Claims that political officeholders get exorbitant salaries have been refuted by the Revenue Mobilisation Allocation and Fiscal Commission (RMAFC).

On Sunday, September 17, Muhammed Shehu, the RMAFC chairman, stated to NAN in Abuja.

Shehu claimed that due to the current economic climate, the initial intention to increase public officeholders’ wages by 114 percent has been delayed.

Shehu mentioned in his discussion with NAN that Ministers make less than N1 million while President Bola Tinubu has a salary of less than N1.5 million.

He said, “I want to disabuse the minds of Nigerians. It is not true that people are getting jumbo salaries.

“The monthly salary of Mr President is less than N1.5 million; that of a minister is not even up to one million naira.

“I know of an average CBN worker that is not even a director, who earns more than a minister.

“People in NNPC, NCC, ports authority earn huge salaries. What is the salary of a governor? What is the salary of a legislator?”

The RMAFC chairman said what is considered outrageous earnings are statutory office running costs, which should ordinarily be managed centrally by the National Assembly Service Commission (NASS).

He said, “I know some people will say members of the National Assembly get up to 10 million or 11 million monthly.

“Those are not salaries, they are like operating costs of running their offices which in other societies the legislator does not have to see because there is a structure.

“Once you get elected, you make that structure from your constituency office to computers to logistics to the size of your constituency.

“Wherever you have constituency office, the workers you hire, it is the National Assembly Service commission that is supposed to take care of that.”

He said the Nigerian system allows a legislator to be allocated a certain amount, which is spent and the receipts retired.
