The Revenue Mobilisation, Allocation and Fiscal Commission (RMAFC) has denied media report (not in LEADERSHIP) that it has approved the increment of salaries of political office-holders, judicial and public office holders by 114 per cent.

In an exclusive discussion with LEADERSHIP, RMAFC Public Relations Officer, Christian Nwachukwu, said President Bola Tinubu has not given approval for the increment of salaries of public servants.

Rakiya Tanko-Ayuba, a Federal Commissioner in the Commission, had made the salary increment remark when she represented RMAFC chairman, Mohammad Shehu, at the presentation of the reports of the reviewed remuneration package to Kebbi State Governor, Nasir Idris, in Birnin Kebbi, on Tuesday.



Tanko-Ayuba reportedly said that implementation of the reviewed remuneration packages was effective from January 1, 2023, a claim that has been strongly denied by the Commission’s spokesman.

“Not my chairman. Not my chairman. My chairman has never made any statement on it. And I have not made any statement on it. No statement from chairman, no statement from me. So, I don’t know. I heard one of the Commissioners said it. I don’t want to be quoted,” the RMAFC spokesperson told our Correspondent while denying the Commissioner’s assertion.

“No approval yet. There is no approval yet. I don’t know the source of that story. Everything is under the process. It has to come as a Bill for Mr President to assent.

“The President has not given assent. Until the President gives assent, you cannot take it as if it has taken effect. You know that. You are a journalist.

“I don’t want to be quoted wrongly. The President has not given assent to it. It is still under the process,” Nwachukwu said over a phone chat with this writer.

Asked if the National Assembly has begun work on the proposal, he said: “it will be sent to National Assembly. Whichever way, whether it has been sent or not, the President has not assented to it. All those legislative process has to be completed; finally, it will land on Mr President’s table for assent. That has not been completed.”

When our correspondent asked if that means that the story making the rounds on salary increment was not true, Nwachukwu said: “just take it the way you understand it so that you don’t quote me anyhow.”

Asked whether the RMAFC has sent the executive bill through FEC to the National Assembly for deliberation, Nwachukwu simply said: “everything is under the process.”

“No approval yet. There is no approval yet. I don’t know the source of that story. Everything is under the process. It has to come as a Bill for Mr President to assent.

Of course. It was fake news. Majority of Nigerians lack a good understanding of how government is run in Nigeria, hence their ignorance. No wonder the politicians use them to play ludo.

helinues:
If you give a mad man a hoe, he must first make ridges for himself. Same case with the FG, before increasing workers salary, they want to increase theirs first..

Damage control. This is what Tinubu supporters have already confirmed and are vehemently defending on this platform. So never you believe them.

Notice how the same group of people that defended Buhari’s failure for 8yrs is now all over social media doing the same thing again.

At one minute they start blaming Buhari that they defended. They are all scattered all over nairaland.
There is no difference between what Buhari did and what Tinubu is doing.

We are watching…. Enemies of Nigeria we see una.

Meanwhile some resident zonebs and agbadorians never see food chop, talk less of salary increase from their 30k allowee

I didn't see it on NTA so I no bother.

It just had to be fake news.
Would have been sheer wickedness on the part of government to further increase cost of governance when we should be talking of reducing it.
