20 Million Naira Accommodation Per Annum: Buhari Walks Out Of Ministers by samogconsu(m): 11:31am On May 02, 2016 |
President Muhammadu Buhari reportedly walked out on ministers during a meeting at presidential villa, Signal is reporting. The report said the ministers led by youth and sports minister Solomon Dalung had sought the audience of President as the ministers for financial request of N20 million per annum to settle their accommodation problem but mid-way into the meeting, Mr Buhari President stood up and ‘excused himself’ leaving the ministers dejected and hopeless. find out why President Buhari rejected the request by the ministers “because his hands are tied by the Remuneration Act, even though he empathises with their situation. They were asking for N20 million per annum for their accommodation. But prior to last week’s meeting, several other options had been proposed, including buying an estate or the FCDA (Federal Capital Development Authority) building one, but these were considered expensive and dropped. The final option was the request for N20 million per annum, because some ministers are squatting in Abuja and the situation is impacting on their jobs,” Signal reported. Quoting a source who was present during the meeting, the report said “The ministers have been facing serious challenges with accommodation and they put their heads together to go and see the President hoping that they could persuade him to do something. Dalung was the spokesperson of the ministers; Communication Minister Adebayo Shittu was also at the meeting. Where the problem started was when Dalung started making reference to how ministers got a nice accommodation package under previous governments. He actually said that under Jonathan ministers were given N20 million each for accommodation. When he said that Buhari asked if he mean N20 million for all the ministers and Dalung replied that it was N20 million per person. It was at this point that Buhari stood up and said he was taking his leave and leaving Osinbajo to “sort it out” with them,” an unnamed source was quoted. Ministers who are perceived not be affected with the accommodation problem are minister of transport, Rotimi Amaechi, minister of power, works and housing, Babatunde Fashola and minister of solid minerals, Kayode Fayemi. It was however gathered the minister of youth and sports, Solomon Dalung has secured a low-key accommodation at Gwarinpa district of Abuja. Meanwhile, the ministry of budget and national planning says it has begun the preparation of 2017 budget. The minister of state budget and national planning, Zainab Ahmed who was quoted in a statement signed by Charles Dafe, Director of Information in the ministry disclosed this when the Association of National Accountants of Nigeria (ANAN) paid her a courtesy visit. https://www.naij.com/817153-shocker-president-buhari-walks-ministers.html?source=notification

Proposing 20 million naira accomodation allowance for each minister is wickedness and it really shows their selfish interest. They don't need to live in a mansion before you serve their fatherland. I think the president did the right thing by walking out on them. 1 Like |

This is even above the American or British living standard. N20 million will rent and furnish 2 whole Duplexes in Wuse, Garki, Gwarimpa Districts for one year. A minister doesn't need 2 Duplexes to do his job, he needs a 3 bedroom apartment for himself and family at most. If he wants to host guests he should go to a public restaurant and patronize them, not in his home, that's why they should insist that public services are standardized and should work These guys should be living in serviced apartments, N5 million annually at most. 3 Likes |

Tell me one minister who doesn't have at least 1 or 2 building prior before now in Abuja, is it CHRIST NGIGE, AMAECHI, FASHOLA , ONU, MADAM TARABA, FAYEMI, DALUNG, all this people are multi millionaires. Just that the joy of having always lay in having more. Their are very gready and heartless. This same ministers once promise to work for free now are complaining of managing 4 million as accommodate fee per annum. We have not yet talk of the so called padding their are doing on the budget in detriment to the poor masses. ANY WAY GOD DEYOOOOOO |
