Our brother Amaechi should have more than 100 billion in his account, same with fashola, so they won't have problems.

Also these guys know how to get money from the offices.

Doubt any minister is complaining

Really these people need to realize they are here to work, and not to start comparing salaries
With other countries, the stage Nigeria is now they ought to work for free

PMB should also reduce the lawmakers and Governors allowances. those thieves are not worth seating there...I now know why he referred to them as "spoilt children"

Though this will lead to corruption, but I support the government wholly on this issue. What is the essence of them receiving sumptuous amount as salary while the populace are suffering owing to insufficient allocation to the state government from the federation account?

When dem dey collect millions as allowance, dem still dey corrupt. So now #Godwin

oil price has fallen, so what were the ministers expecting? a jamboree?

free2ryhme:


You seems to be getting it wrong. Not every worker can be a minister. Ministers have important role to play and you can just wish it away becos you want to cut cost

And u think they are that special or maybe no one else can perform their duties?
Maybe there is something i don't know.
Please what are the things/qualities that these set of people have that will be very rear to find?
Cos last i check there were no special training or certificates that they have that qualifies them to be one.
If there is let me know please.
Thanks.

While the substantive minister will earn N2, 026, 400 Annual Basic Salary($8,514.285), Minister of State is to get N1.8million($7,563.025) per annum.

Other highlights of the conditions include: Estacode Allowance($900 per diem); Duty Tour Allowance(N35,000); Utilities Allowance(Telephone/ Electricity/ Water)–30% of Annual Basic Salary (N607,920); Domestic Staff Allowance(75% -((N1,519,800) of Annual Basic Salary; Medical Facilities (in accordance with NHIS Policy); Special Assistant (To be provided in kind); Security (To be provided in kind); Air Travel (By Business Class); Newspaper Allowance (15% of Annual Basic Salary-N303,960).

The letter said: “As a Political Office Holder, you must obtain permission from Mr. President before you travel out of Abuja. If the trip is official, Ministers are entitled to a Duty Tour Allowance of N35,000 per diem. However, all private journeys will attract no Allowance.

“Severance Allowance of 300 %of Annual Basic Salary payable after full tenure of office with government. The allowance will be pro-rated after a minimum of two years tenure.

It added: “200 % of Annual Basic Salary (N4,052,800) will be paid to you to enable you to acquire accommodation of your choice in line with monetization policy.

“Furniture Allowance. 300 %(N6,079,200) of Annual Basic Salary will be paid once in every four years. The allowance will be paid annually at the rate of 75% (N1,519,800) of Annual Basic salary.

“Motor Vehicle Fuelling Maintenance Allowance. 75% of Annual Basic Salary (N1,519,800) for the maintenance of your vehicle(s) as Government no longer provides chauffeur driven vehicles to Political Office Holders/Public Officers for house to office running.

“Annual Leave (30 calendar days for each leave year or calculated on pro-rata basis, with 10% of Annual Basic Salary(N202,640) as leave grant); Personal Assistant Allowance (25% of Annual Basic salary to enable you to employ a Personal Assistant of your choice).”

I doubt if this will hold.

The package has caused rumbles in the cabinet because while Nigerian ministers earn $8, 514.28 Per Annum (N2,026,400), their counterparts in Ghana are on $50,000 (N11,900,000) and those in South Africa (the highest paying in the continent) were said to be taking home about $302,521 per annum.

Interesting. South Africa is rich in investments, organisation and natural resources.

A reliable source said: “Most ministers have been sad since they received their letters of appointment because the salary and allowance package was a far cry from where they were coming from. We hope that ministers will eventually not steal if they have to serve this nation on hungry stomach.

Systematic corruption may occur. There maybe inflated projects.

“We have ministers in this government who left high-net worth job of $10,000 to $20,000 per month, how will they settle their bills? Some ministers have headed corporate. You can imagine a minister managing about $3billion portfolio now getting $8,521 per Annum.

“Some ministers have children in Ivy League universities where they are paying as much as $40,000 to $60,000 per annum. How will they be able to cope to meet up with their responsibilities?”

LOL!
Nigerian universities are available

“Curiously, we have some Executive Secretaries, Directors-General and Group Managing Directors of parastatals like NNPC, PPMC, NCC, NDIC, PEF, PPPRA, DPR, NERC, NIGCOMSAT, and others who will be earning more than their ministers. I think the system is distorted somehow.”

Another source added: “To earn commensurate salaries and allowances, the president can explore foreign donors’ basket for payment of ministers. Or else, it will be difficult to get the best from this team.

Hmmmm, foreign donor basket? It is a wrong idea.
Interesting.

“Alternatively, there might be scientific corruption in Buhari’s cabinet. This is the type of corruption we call ‘chop and clean mouth.’

President Buhari sir, there will be corruption of 'chop and clean mouth.' That's smart stealing. It is will be unfortunate.

I love this make there children come back to Nigeria and study, how can some will be paying just one student $60000 with if he has more than 4 children that means they have been eating our Nigerian budget for those years, PLS MR President just give this minister for just two mouths for my story to change , who no like better thing

Erukumakanaki:
can't he just reduce it to N18,000 pls. . .

...you like to pay evil for evil....

Erukumakanaki:
can't he just reduce it to N18,000 pls. . .

Lol
Btw, this is federal government job and salaries with allowances should be paid according to the stipulated law bordering on government jobs. I think the leave day is 30 working days and not 30 calendar days.

Really, this is service to the nation. Don't aspire to be a minister for the money but for the love of the job

It's well with naija. We are getting things right gradually. I remember the past administration of Jonathan and the needless waste of government resources...no wonder naija is broke

CircleOfWilis:
Buhari can u also appoint me as a minister? u can pay me less sef, I no go mind

That's the spirit bruh. Do the job for the love of doing it

[color=#990000][/color]If you call that salary poor than I guess you are sick, with all the allowances u still call it poor ah ur father don ever see that can money before? useless write up coming from u, see any minister that's not ready to serve his or her father land shld resign we have so many pple that will work better

ademega:
if he gives them more money people will shout.
no less money they are shouting. smh

Abi o. O su mi o. Opposition and their insatiable wailing. Pity

Buhari na transformer abi high tension ni??

They were all millionaire before, what they really need are power and authority. With these money would take queue at your doorstep.

chisco82:

And u think they are that special or maybe no one else can perform their duties?

They are where they are you are where you are

You don't need certificates or special qualities to know that. There are certain things only time and age can teach you

chukwudi44:
Kini big deal? This has always been their official Salaries from time immemorial!! We also know no Nigerian poltician lives on his official salaries!!

corruption is the name of the game-dis polithiefians play it wella.

This got me laughing, he places travel restriction on his ministers while he turns himself to chief "junketeer"...

don't mind the idiotic junketting junketeer.

[quote author=Erukumakanaki post=40476202]can't he just reduce it to N18,000 pls. . . [/


That is when it would be called service.

All i want if for them to accept to be paid only N18k Minimum Wage just like other Nigerians.


It's a call for to SERVE and not a call to come and be Eating millions without doing anything

Buhari is the most stingy president in the history of Nigeria, how can he pay the Golden eaglet each player N20,000 , how can young boys that represent their country be paid N20,000, they even won the trophy, GEJ is a better man than GMB

free2ryhme:


They are where they are you are where you are

And their ages has not told them that since they have been in the corridor of power,
If it does why has n't they been able to fixed Nigeria?
Some of them have been there for more than 20yrs.

Lol. We are getting things right gradually. Serving as a minister won't be a do or die affair as obtainable in the past

talktimi:
There's nothing wrong with their take home pays if you really scrutinize it. I think it should even be reduced the more.

Chimuo....I just pray it not true @ pix


i have some friends at 3BN ooo....

sweetgala:


You obviously can not read. Special assistance (in the case if an emergency or health issue) to be provided in kind. The context is much different

Reader, get closer to politics and politicians and understand why they kill to get in there.
You pay them for what they put in their mouth and also for excretion.

Try a private firm. If you are given a task, you are to design how best to achiever the set target. The negotiation for remuneration is always on OYO. In other words, whatever the cost of hitting your target is your business.

Here we have very lazy "evil" and public servants that are not productive, hence the bailout for salaries.

Hmmm,Dullard try for this one.He would have further cut down those allowances.

I thought them ministers would work for free
so what's the fuss about pay cut?
there should not be any pay at all!!!

I dunno what you're talking about

Consequent upon this new development,l believe some ministers have developed cold feet already.l no do again.lol
