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 worthy sacrifice the legislators should make for the next six
months.
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.
