Senate Inaugurates Committee To Review Lawmakers’ Salaries by Tville(m): 5:35pm On Jun 25, 2015
Reacting to the massive outcry against their huge salaries and entitlements, the upper chamber of the National Assembly today inaugurated a committee that would review the salaries of lawmakers.

A committee that would daft the legislative agenda for the 8th Senate was also formed before the adjournment of plenary till July 21.

The senate president, Sen. Bukola Saraki (Kwara-APC) via his twitter handle said the “Committee on Finance to reduce our salary and that of Legislative Agenda will continue to meet” in spite of the adjournment of sitting.

He said the senate will reconvene as soon as President Muhammadu Buhari sends ministerial list to the senate.

Saraki further emphasised that the Senate was committed to serving Nigerians, noting that it would not be “business as usual” in the Senate under his leadership.

I hope the committee are not members of the senate because even if a madman is given an hoe, he will cultivate to his side.

We set up a "committee to reduce our salary?" Sounds childish. IMO.

Last time I checked we had a Salaries and Wages Commission in Nigeria.

Seems some persons don't even know their job descriptions in this country... SMH

50% should be a nice target..... but I bet they will only reduce it by 1% and later create a bill that will add 10-50% back to the main figure in form of some WHITE ELEPHANT PROJECT ALLOWANCE later on.

Re: Senate Inaugurates Committee To Review Lawmakers’ Salaries by guardsman: 5:48pm On Jun 25, 2015
I can never take Saraki at his word. He can not be trusted on anything, not even dis panel.
I can neither trust nor believe a con-man who robbed depositors of their funds at his Societe General Bank. While they groaned at d loss of their deposits, he was busy acquiring properties in Europe & America wit their money.
I can never trust someone who betrayed those wit whom he shared dat sacred bond of blood & family.
I can never trust someone who betrayed his associates in d PDP & now d APC.
My take is dat no one, not even his close associates should never believe dis treacherous individual. Only gullible nigerians will take him at his word.

Good INITIAL move.

The PRESSURE that brought us this far must continue without ceasing until the wages of these SINators and representaTHIEVES are brought in line with the N18,000 minimum wage for other workers in the SAME government.
No more, no less!!!
