Senator Abdurrahman Kawu Sumaila (NNPP – Kano South) on Wednesday made a shocking revelation, claiming that he earns twenty one million naira in allowances every month apart from monthly salary of about N1million.

The actual salary and allowances of federal lawmakers has continued to generate controversy recently, prompting many Nigerians to call for a downward review of the jumbo pay.

Grassroots Parrot recalled how former President Olusegun Obasanjo recently accused members of the National Assembly of fixing bogus salaries and allowances for themselves in contravention of extant laws.

Senator Shehu Sani who represented Kaduna Central during the 8th Assembly also followed suit.

He claimed that each Senator collects monthly running cost of N13.5million in addition to the monthly N750,000 prescribed by the RMAFC.

To clear the air, the Revenue Mobilisation, Allocation and Fiscal Commission (RMAFC) – a body responsible for fixing salaries and allowances of public servants on Tuesday, clarified that each member of the Senate collects a total monthly salary and allowances of N1,063,860.00

The Commission gave the breakdown of the cumulative take-home pay for lawmakers to include: basic salary of N168,866:70; motor vehicle fuelling and maintenance allowance of N126,650; N42,216:66 for personal assistant; domestic staff – N126,650:00; entertainment – N50,660:00; utilities – N50,660; newspapers/periodicals – N25,330:00; Wardrobe allowance – N42,216,66:00; house maintenance – N8,443.33 and constituency allowance – N422,166:66; respectively.

However, speaking to the BBC Hausa Service on Wednesday morning, Senator Sumaila said the monthly salary was fixed by the RMAFC.

“My monthly salary is less than N1million. After deductions, the figure comes down to a little over N600,000,” Senator Sumaila said.

The federal lawmaker, thereafter noted that “Given the increase effected, in the Senate, each Senator gets N21million every month as running cost.”
