With the National Assembly quarters in Abuja retained by their outgoing counterparts, the 343 new lawmakers at the National Assembly are to draw between N3 million and N5 million for new houses as they resume work this week.

The Assembly leaders said the amount is to cover annual rental cost for new accommodation for each legislator, after a controversial government monetisation policy transferred titles for the Abuja Apo legislative quarters to former lawmakers who were not reelected.

The ownership rule has drawn the condemnation of some legislators as they face a raft of uncertainties, as the Senate and the House of Representatives resume legislative duties. Each new Senator is receiving N5 million for a new place in the federal capital territory after an initial demand for N7 million (and an upward rental fee for three years) were reportedly rejected by the senate leadership.

is there hope for this country called Nigeria?

Honestly, its sad. I see no hope with this trend. It is indeed terrible when there are lots of insufficiency out there. They all allocate these huge sum of money to themselves at the detriment of the poor masses. God punish them all

but why should the former lawmakers retain the national assembly quarters?

This must be a joke!!!!!!

They have started again.They are never tired of LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOTING.No hope 4 naija,

this clearly shows lack of foresight by the fed govt, The best solution is to revoke the allocation of houses in apo lagislative qtrs. Period

9ja where are our leaders leadn us to?na wah o

Boko Haramist! You guys disappoint me by hitting the wrong targets. Pls go for the NASS members. They are the best target in the world now.

This 1billion naira, is it going to be deducted from their salaries or is it another recurrent expenditure? if it is another recurrent expenditure we need to organise a 10million man march to protest this. Haba minimum wage is still suffering debate and this people are showing flagrant disregard for opinion and pains of the people they are supposedly representing. For how long will we as ordinary Nigerians continue to look the other way? In a way i blame us for lacking the willpower to hold this people accountable.

And the looting spree continues.

NIGERIA, The land of MILK and HONEY (GOD'S OWN COUNTRY)
