The much disputed amount paid to House of Assembly members has been made available by the Senate President himself.
Ahmed Lawan, who is the president of the senate, made it known at a “Lecture Series organised by the National Institute for Legislative and Democratic Studies (NILDS)”.
In the lecture, Ahmed Lawan cleared the air by stating that a senator’s monthly salary is not 13 million naira as generally believed. He made it clear that the said 13 million naira is for office allowance, which is paid quarterly. That of the House of Representatives members is 8 million naira, also paid quarterly.
The real salary for a senator is 1.5 million naira and that of a house of representatives member is 1.3 million naira, which is paid monthly.
The Senate President further urged Nigerians to believe in the Senate, as they are not rubber-stamped by the Senate.
The air has now been cleared about how much a senator or House of Representatives member receives.
