The President is entitled to hardship allowance of N146,446 per month and Consistency allowance at N732,230 per month.
President Muhammadu Buhari’s official monthly salary is about N1,171,568. There are, however, 18 jumbo allowances that are paid to the President monthly with no justification, SaharaReporters has gathered.

The President is entitled to hardship allowance of N146,446 per month and Consistency allowance at N732,230 per month.
SaharaReporters learnt that apart from his salary, the President is entitled to no fewer than 18 allowances which are Personal assistant allowance, constituency, vehicle fuelling/maintenance, domestic staff, entertainment, recess, newspaper/periodicals, utilities, houses maintenance, security, special assistant, furniture, wardrobe, duty tour, accommodation, estacode, and medical allowances.
The salary breakdown was given by the Revenue Mobilisation Allocation and Fiscal Commission.

The commission is empowered by section 32(d) of Part1 of the Third Schedule of the Constitution to determine the revenue suitable for political office holders.

Meanwhile, the Vice President, Prof Yemi Osinbajo, earns N1, 010,524.17 monthly and N12, 126,290 yearly.

He also is entitled to various allowances, including N126,315 monthly as hardship allowance and N631,577 monthly as Consistency allowance.

Other allowances for the top political office holders are accommodation allowance, furniture, duty tour allowance (per night), motor vehicle fueling, and maintenance.

The amounts for each of these allowances are to be provided outside the official revenue mobilization allocation framework.
SaharaReporters gathered that many of the allowances paid to Buhari and Osinbajo are kept away from the knowledge of Nigerians, particularly as relating to medical allowances, as the President has traveled out abroad for medical trips more than any sitting Nigerian president.

Despite the bleeding economy, which is currently grappling with $33billion foreign debts, the federal government has failed to yield to demands to cut the jumbo allowances paid to political office holders, including members of the National Assembly.
In 2015, President Buhari announced that he would only be collecting half of his monthly salary but it's not certain he is still taking a paycut six years after.

Only on Monday, a rights organization, the Socio-Economic Rights and Accountability Project (SERAP), asked the Federal High Court in Abuja to order the RMAFC and the National Salaries, Incomes and Wages Commission (NSIWC) to review downward the remuneration and allowances of Buhari, Osinbajo, the 36 governors and members of the National Assembly.

The group had said the duo should do this by performing their statutory functions.

SERAP, in a suit number FHC/ABJ/CS/658/2021 filed last Friday, sought “an order of mandamus to direct and compel the RMAFC to send its downward review of the remuneration and allowances of these high-ranking public office holders and recommendations to the National Assembly for appropriate remedial and legislative action, as provided for by the Nigerian Constitution 1999 (as amended).”

SERAP said slashing jumbo pay for the high-ranking political office-holders would reduce the unfair pay disparity between political officer holders and judicial officers.

SERAP is also seeking “an order of mandamus to direct and compel the RMAFC to perform its mandatory constitutional duty to urgently review upward the remuneration, salaries, and allowances, as well as the conditions of service for Nigerian

Hmm

Lol at hardship allowance no wonder they keep Increasing the hardship

and CLICMARIN, simplyleo, monogamy, deadvulturemeatgrill and other zonebied how much do you get for selling your soul.
Even your god gets hardship allowance. Unah must dey alright by force

No wonder Osibanjo is oblivious to the plight of the common man, we already know the dullard is a national catastrophe, but Osibanjo deafening silence as the number 2 man still baffles me.

This doesn't look like jumbo pay to me.
If a whole president earns such a small amount, why are those house of reps, senators building multi million naira mansions and buying Lamborghini sports cars worth close to a million dollar and former first lady having properties in Dubai and multi billion naira in account, how come politicians children cruise in private jets

Sahara reporters has turned to opposition party but I don't think they got the right figure

The same Buhari Osinbajo that have been receiving 50% of their salaries since their first tenure in 2015? SERAP keep Shaming themselves upanddown

though I think its stupid for the president to cut his salary by half, its nothing but eye service.
Its either u collect all or u don't collect at all like Donal trump did.

Now that I think about it, he was trying to set a precedence to the change mantra, but Nigerians didn't buy the idea, we are extremely corrupt already

Wiseandtrue:

They can't cut their jumbo pay but they can add to the masses sufferings

No job:

Over 100% increment in gas
Increase in fuel pumping price
Increment in house rent
Increment in food stuff
Increment in house rent
Lost of lives

And someone says we should pray for our leaders don't they know what to do

the president has cut his jumbo pay since 2015 when he started the "change begins with me" mantra, sahara as usual is feeding people with fake news to further discredit the president

In all I think there should be an explicit explanation of what that HARDSHIP ALLOWANCE is for to Nigerians that are actually passing through the hardship.
What hardship are the President & Vice President passing through so much that they need to be paid such amounts monthly?
SMH @how gloriously our leaders looters keep been insensitive.
This to me is an insult to the citizenry that are really actually experiencing hardship.
That allowance is a fraud in my opinion because I can't get my head around what Hardship the presidency is threatened with which amounts to been given an allowance monthly pay for?
This hardship allowance and Governor's security votes allowances are two appropriations I see as fraudulent and a sheer waste of tax payers monies.
They could have been useful in better ways like setting up a trusts fund with it.



We need young visionary leadership abeg.

Did you just compare a successful business man to someone who has been receiving pension military salary? That's serious.

The president's salary is over one million naira but the kickbacks are in billions of Naira ..

50% that is more like 200%

What exactly is his worth before and now

This disclosure would have silent any speculations

Him himself didn't disclose it to the public!

How can you fight corruption when you're not transparent

Has he remembered the location of his land/property in Port Harcourt

OAM4J

No wonder the Prof doesn't want to resign.

Where else would you get paid for doing nothing?

No wonder Buhari thinks he's the best thing to happen to Nigerians after slice bread. How will he know that his people in Katsina are now feeding on grass?
