House Of Reps Members Slash Salaries By 50% by fergie001: 2:22pm On Jul 18
Members of the house of representatives have resolved to slash their salaries by 50 percent due to the pervasive economic hardship across the country.

The lower legislative chamber passed the resolution during plenary on Thursday, following the adoption of a motion of urgent public importance.

The motion was titled: ‘An Appeal to the Proponents of Proposed Nationwide Protest to Maintain Peace, Eschew Violence and Open the Windows for Meaningful Engagements with Government at all Levels in Order to Address their Issues’.

It was sponsored by Ibrahim Isiaka from Ogun state.

Ben Kalu, deputy speaker, proposed the amendment, stating that it is a sacrifice the legislators should make.

He said the lawmakers earn N500,000 monthly.

He was corrected by Tajudeen Abbas, speaker of the house, who said they receive N600,000 in monthly salaries.

No assembly member should collect more than 120k maximum as total package if they're being honest with themselves

This will not stop the protest. The fear of Northerners is the beginning of wisdom, look we don't need South East to achieve our goal because we have the number to do whatever we want in Nigeria. So I please advise them to stay aloof from the protest

They are trying, but they should put their salaries and allowances to the open and cut it. They should also see to where the excesses of the
salaries will be injected, so it is not embezzled. Enough of all these audio announcements.
