Economic Hardship: House Of Reps Members Slash Salaries By 50%
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.
