A senator collects half a million naira as night allowance when he or she makes a local trip, it has been disclosed.

Central Bank Governor Sanusi Lamido Sanusi who made this revelation today on his Facebook page, also revealed that the same applies to members of lower parliament, the House of Representatives.

Sanusi also disclosed that his own allowance for a local trip per night is N25,000.
In the post, Sanusi lamented how the lawmakers made trouble for him when he made a case for the downward review of their outrageous allowances. He also called on Nigerian youths to rise and take their destiny into their hands. Said the Central Bank Governor:

“As the Governor of the CBN, I am only entitled to N25,000 per night for my local trips and our Senators and House of Reps Members are entitled to N500,000 per night for their local trips, I asked for the cutting down of their salaries and they all went against my policy.

My tenure expire in June 2014 and i want all Nigerians home and abroad to put all hands on deck to bring in someone that will surpass me and be able to take the financial matters of our great nation to the next step. Nigeria is not a country where one man can do it all, it is a collective effort and i use this medium to call on our youth from all works (O.P.C, NIGER-DELTA, THE BAKASSI BOYS, THE NORTHERN’S) To stand up and embrace the emancipation. Long live the Federal Republic Of Nigeria.
