Reps-elect Demands 50% Pay Cut For Buhari, Lawmakers, Others by Nobody: 7:22am On May 05, 2015 |
A House of Representatives member-elect, Abdullahi Gaya, from Kano State, on Monday asked the in-coming administration of Muhammadu Buhari to slash the wages and allowances of the Presidency and National Assembly by 50 per cent. Mr. Gaya, who spoke to journalists at his residence in Kano, said the reduction in salaries would cater for the nation’s capital expenditure. Until his election as a legislator, Mr. Gaya was the Commissioner of Finance in Kano state. “In my opinion I think it will be better for all the elected representatives, beginning from Mr. President to members of parliament, to Ministers, to other Advisors and special assistants, to agree that what we will be receiving is slashed to 50 per cent,” he said. Mr. Gaya, who will represent Gaya/Ajing/Albasu federal constituency, said Nigerian leaders need to reduce their expenses for the country to have positive changes. “Since we believe the country needs positive change we should therefore accept it as such. The slash in the expenses should continue till when our dear nation gets to execute capital projects. May be from the time we were inaugurated to another two years,” he said. His call came days after a Senator-elect, Dino Melaye, pledged to lead a campaign for the reduction of Nigeria’s federal lawmakers, who are ranked the highest paid legislators in the world. Mr. Melaye also said the government should use the funds realized from pay cut to develop the nation. www.premiumtimesng.com/news/top-news/182434-reps-elect-demands-50-pay-cut-for-buhari-lawmakers-others.html |

Their salary and allowances i have seen,even if it is slashed 75% they will still be earning comfortable packages. Its just good that this move is gaining weight. only if it will not die out on their resumption. |
