Mathew Kukah, the Bishop of Sokoto Catholic Diocese, has
faulted the huge salaries of members of the National Assembly.
Kukah urged President Muhammadu Buhari and the Senate
President, Ahmed Lawan to prevail on lawmakers to slash their huge salaries by
half.
Kukah explained that such would enable the creation of more
jobs for Nigerians.
The cleric made the call while backing the Emir of Kano,
Lamido Sanusi, who recently called on lawmakers to slash their salary by half.
He spoke at the 3rd annual conference of the Guild of
Corporate Online Publishers (GOCOP) on the theme, “Economy, Security and
National Development: The Way Forward” held at Ikeja Lagos during the weekend.
He described the continued relapse of Nigeria’s economy, and
increase in insecurity.
According to Kukah: ”As provoking as Sanusi said, if the
salaries of a senator, 36 million naira is cut in half, it will create jobs for
thousands of Nigerians with salaries of 92,000 naira each.
”We are the poverty capital of the world, what else do we
need to know?
”A British judge said: If there were a World Cup for
Corruption, Nigeria will always play in the finals.”
