Questions for the irumoles... You no sabi read?

So what has been said here? I cannot understand the story here.

Reduce their allowances also!

50% reduction in the allowance ASAP.

wat abt d urth's allowance?

Buhari is a bloody criminal, he should stop playing on our intelligence, we are not concerned about the salary, we are concerned about the ALLOWANCES. Buhari we are not foolds

EVILFOREST:
FLEASE, relieve them of these EXORBITANT and MOUTH-WATERING allowances...



ALLOWANCES are the problems... NOT SALARIES..
ALLOWANCES such as..
Newspaper allowance for what..?
House maid allowance....
Hotel allowance...
Girl friend allowance..
Furniture allowance...
Pets allowance...

Their salary basic holds the key. Once cut, it will take care of the rest as they only % of it.

My humble president, keep doing it!

humble ke? Abi ruggedi baba

fantastic move.

Thank GOD,finally we moving to the permanent site,,even UK PM Cameron also reduced their salaries.

Are these salaries yearly or monthly? Naija President cannot earn 3 million yearly. It's impossible

They dont earn this per year, this is per month!!!! Can we stop the BS please!

d problem isnt d Salary...d problem is all dose u peoples allowances....reduce d allowance n dts all...d allowances u guys get a month is much dn dt salary in a month

Let's get to see the review first, we can now commend or condemn after that.

Commendations before the review makes no sense! My opinion

EbolaParasite:
They do not need to review salaries. What they need to review is ALLOWANCES

Well said fellow country man i hope dey are reading ds

sweet move

LaurelP:
Slash it and pay the poor masses pls...
Also close some useless MDAs

Please which MDA is useless, u must be an ilitrate to have sound this way.

We don't have any problem with the salaries but the allowances.

How can somebody earn 3.5m annually but rakes in N1billion for feeding?

The problem is not salary but undeserved allowances. The anormally must stop under our amiable president, Buhari.

Change must be felt all round.

FROM ISAAC ANUMIHE, ABUJA

Following 50 per cent drop in revenue, inflation and the high cost of living, the Federal Government has commenced the review of the Remuneration Act which will affect what the president, vice president, governors, and others will earn.

The review will also affect the remunera­tions of other political officeholders including the ministers, the National Assembly mem­bers and the judiciary.

Speaking exclusively to Daily Sun at the weekend, Chairman of Revenue Mobilisa­tion Allocation and Fiscal Commission (RMAFC), Elias Mbam, said the review is undergoing a process to determine whether it will be reviewed upward or downward.

He, however, noted that given the harsh realities on ground, the 2008 Remuneration Act must be reviewed.

“The commission is not insensitive to the realities on ground. There is a drop in the oil price, there is a general economic downward trend. Many states are even finding it difficult to pay salaries. In view of this situation, the commission has commenced the review of the remuneration of the present Act of 2008 and by the time we conclude, we will make public our position with regard to the new Remu­neration Act,” he said.

Mbam said the commission will consider other things in tandem with what is happening in other parts of the world.

“The thing is that we are not working in isolation of other parts of the world. We are also looking at what is obtainable elsewhere. What is being paid in the private sector. What type of work do you do? What are the risks? Does the work require the allowance that you are earning? What are the shortcomings of the present Remuneration Act? What is the rate of inflation? So, it is not something you just say, increase or decrease. But certainly, there will be some changes,” he emphasized.

On the time-frame of the new remuneration law, the chairman said it should come up with a new proposal before the end of the third quarter.

“It is before the end of September because when we come out with our new proposal, it will still go through the National Assembly for the executive arm of the government. But for the legislators, our determined emolument is final. When we conclude, whatever we decide for the legislators is final. But that of the executive will still go through legislative process. But whatever they will decide finally will not be more than what the commission decided,” Mbam noted..

At the moment, the President earns N3.51 million per year, Vice President (N3.03 mil­lion), Minister (N2.02 million), Minister of State (N1.95 million) and Special Adviser (N1.94 million), Governor (N2.22 million), Deputy Governor (N2.11 million), and Com­missioners
(N1.33 million).

how about the Senators and members of house Reps?

There is nothing special about this. Nigerians need to understand that these guys don't make their money through monthly salaries but through contract inflation etc.

Good one

Not a bad move though but waiting for this to be implemented

don't worry, I'm at MMA now heading 2 Germany; will ask pa Buhari about that.. Makew get peshense..

The problem is not salary but undeserved allowances. The anormally must stop under our amiable president, Buhari.

Am confused here and need these clarifications
1. If RMAFC controls salaries which agency controls allowances?
2. What is the function of National salaries and wages commission?

Questions for the irumoles... You no sabi read?

they have started with their "the more u look the less u see"
the figures here cannot be per year.
and they skillfully omitted Senators and house of Reps members
WHY?

The salaries does not need reduction. If this is truly what they earn it's ok. The real deal is those benefits, commissions et al.

Until then , for now i can't believe it the issue with assert declaration will always come to mind.

Just 2 weeks in power and all these positive changes. Changes the educated illiterate from Otuoke couldn't do in years. Nigeria will be great!!
