The Revenue Mobilisation Allocation and Fiscal Commission (RMAFC) has adjusted the remuneration of President Bola Tinubu, Vice President Kashim Shettima, and other political and judicial officeholders by 114 per cent.

Mr Tinubu will earn N8,013,527 monthly, a 114 per cent increase from former President Muhammadu Buhari’s monthly salary of N3,514,705, according to a report presented by RMAFC chairman, Muhammadu Shehu, on Tuesday in Birnin Kebbi.

Mr Shehu presented the reports of the reviewed remuneration package to Kebbi State Governor Nasir Idris.

The RMAFC chairman, represented by the federal commissioner, Rakiya Tanko-Ayuba, presented the report to the governor during a courtesy visit at the Government House, Birnin Kebbi.

Mr Shehu said the move was in line with paragraph 32(d) of Part 1 of the Third Schedule of the 1999 Constitution, which empowers the commission to review the remuneration of political office holders.

Recalling that the last review of the remuneration was carried out in 2007, Mr Shehu said the commission held a public hearing in all the geopolitical zones to deliberate on the review of remuneration packages on February 1.

The chairman said the commission reviewed the remuneration packages in the reports based on subjective and objective criteria.

“The subjective criteria reflected the various expressions by stakeholders through memoranda received, opinions expressed during the zonal public hearings and responses to questionnaires administered.

“The objectives of the criteria were obtained from analysis of macro-economic variables, particularly the Consumer Price Index (CPI),” he noted.

He added that the commission was also guided by some principles, including equity and fairness; risk and responsibilities; national order of precedence; motivation and tenure of office.

Mr Shehu said concerning allowances and fringe benefits, the commission recommended that the existing allowances be maintained at the current levels since that would translate to higher provisions in actual amounts when applied on the reviewed annual basic salary.

The chairman explained that concerning the judicial office holders, the commission considered introducing three new allowances.

He listed the allowances to include “Professional Development Assistant: This is to allow for the provision of two law clerks to all judicial officers in the country.

“Long Service Allowance: This is to guarantee seniority/hierarchy between officers who have been on the bench for a minimum of five years and those that are appointed newly as well as Restricted or Forced Lifestyle: This is to take care of the nature of the lifestyle of judicial officers while in active service.”

Mr Shehu said the commission recommended January 1, 2023, as the effective date for implementing the reviewed remuneration packages.

He urged the 36 states Houses of Assembly to hasten efforts to amend relevant laws to allow for upward review of remuneration packages for political, judicial and public officers.

The work by the State Houses of Assembly will allow for the commencement of implementation of the reviewed remuneration packages for political, public and judicial officers.

The state governor with his deputy, Abubakar Tafida; speaker of the Kebbi State House of Assembly, Muhammadu Ankwai; acting chief judge of the state, Umar Abubakar; the SSG, Yakubu Tafida; head of service, Safiyanu Bena; and the chief of staff, Attahiru Maccido, keenly listened to the presentation.

The governor pledged that the committee under his chairmanship would justly look into the report and convey the same to the appropriate quarters for necessary action.

Shebi madam Remi say they nor need Nigeria money during inaugural eve? Abi she just dey whine us?

Why the increment?
Tinubu should follow Donald Trump!
He should govern Nigeria for free!!!

Na only masses dey pay heavy price for subsidy, floating currency, boarder restriction.


Las las government just dey scam massess...

E don dey clear for Thier eyes, tinubu no send anybody

Which one is "FG increases"

Just say "Tinubu increases his salary and that of his colleagues in crime".



When e good for ear, they will put Tinubu name. (President Tinubu appoints new service chiefs)

When e bad for ear, they will put FG. (FG increases Tinubu salary)

Collecting salary for doing what exactly? Serving the masses or using the govt money for infrastructure??

I see this as sheer wickedness on the part of government. With all the calls for reduction in cost of governance?

Fake news.

It’s just a proposal that has been in place since even before the election and Tinubu hasn’t approved anything yet nor the FG. It still has to be assented to.

The media just carry news because they know some zombies don’t think. Now they have something to abuse Tinubu for after all the wins of the new administration.

I’m sure FG will release a denial statement soon and all these propagandists can rest.

You will not see supporters of evil on this thread.

Where are the defenders of corruption...or are they also receiving an increase in salary

We know that with the emergence of Tinubu everything linked to taxation will surge. The man that like taxing more than his life. Imagine a Nigeria worse than that of Buhari.

People must get sense by force.

Solsix:
E don dey clear for Thier eyes, tinubu no send anybody

Hehehehehe

May the salary increase of Tinubu and other political officers, favour me and my family

Make Dem increase my own salary too

Shebi im wife talk say dem no need Nigeria money again😹
Una must get sense by force😜

This has been implemented since January First 2023 when Tinubu has not even won election.

Stop being petty

IF you take your time to read, you would have realize the salary increment review was on before even before Tinubu won the election

The chairman emphatically stated they had a public hearing on Feb 1st.
However i wish Tinubu turn it down, if the people are to tighten there belt, politicians & public servant must also sacrifice and lead by example. o se koko

They should remember civil servants too.

With BAT'S level of wealth and if he truly meant well for a better Nigeria, I expected him to turn down the salary and most money allowances for his office of the president to set a pace for a better Nigeria as a true patriot.

For now, I see selfishness in every Nigerian politician.

Nigerians should not be expectant !

Uhna go wail tire.

Òmó we don dey wail oooh.

Them Tinubu's government would favor me and my family. I hope it is already favoring you.😁😁😁.

Sorry, I just want to laff a little.😁😁😁.

Instead of the new government to start by ameliorating the sufferings of the poor masses. They started by increasing their pains. Creating more poor people everyday, reducing purchasing power of the average Nigerian, then giving soft life to the political class.

We talk am ooo but tribalism no let them see road.

This is tinubu first L since he bacame the president

Please educate us. Who proposed it?

Instead of Tinubu starting his administration with policies that ameliorates the sufferings of the poor masses after they've endured Buhari's regime, he decided to increasing their sufferings.

This reminds me of Rehoboam in the Bible, the heir to king Solomon. Rehoboam lost a major part of his kingdom due to his insensitivity. Tinubu is tolling a similar part.

Don’t be an illiterate. Go and read what RMAFC do and see who constitute the overall team. It has all 36 state involved.

That proposal was way back before Tinubu was sworn in. Tinubu know nothing about it and no action has been taken on it.

That the lazy media jumped on it to lie that there has been an effective increase in salary do not mean they are right. 70% of news from those fake media need to be sieved and as it stand, it seems NTA is the only last truth standing.

By the way, just like I opined, the RMAFC already denied the fake news and this is a breaking news from leadership newspaper.

Another botched attempt from the enemies of Nigeria to derail the administration's focus. They'd keep failing at every attempt.

Don’t mind them.

They are busy scouting for any news to damage the new government because it has been accolade all through for Jagaban for the last few weeks from both inside and outside Nigeria.

I love how rapid it was denied. We must always counter their fake news and not leave it to even survive for 5hrs.

Very horrible characters. People who wish nothing but death and destruction upon the country simply because one overrated third class puppet didn't win a race.
