In terms of lawmakers’ salaries as a ratio of GDP per
capita, the gap is even much wider.
While the salary of a Nigerian lawmaker is 116 times
the country’s GDP per person, that of a British
member of parliament is just 2.7 times.
The average salary of Nigerian worker based on the
national minimum wage is N18,000.00, So, the yearly
salary is N18,000.00 x 12 = N216,000.00 ($1,333.00)
Remember, Yearly Salary of Nigerian Senator =
$2,183,685.00.
Proportion: $2,183,685.00/$1,333.00 = 1,638
It will take an average Nigerian worker 1,638 years to
earn the yearly salary of a Nigerian Senator.
