Dear Active Citizen,
The President of the Senate, Ahmed Lawan, in a paper presented at the First Distinguished Parliamentarians Lecture Series organised by the National Institute for Legislative and Democratic Studies in Abuja has revealed the salaries and emoluments of members of the National Assembly to the public.
According to him: “The average office running cost for a senator is about ₦13 million while that of a member of the House of Representatives is ₦8 million.” He added that these quarterly costs were the lowest of any presidential democracy in the world!
