The one budget that is almost impossible to reduce is national assembly budget because senators and House of rep members will have to agree and vote for the reduction.

You don see where Turkey vote for Christmas before. Na.

If the National Assembly has a choice between closing all primary schools in the country for 2 years due to lack of money and cutting their own budget to keep schools open, I know which one they will choose.

Any President that tries to reduce their budget significantly faces impeachment.

Senators and House members don't joke with their money.

They agreed to remove subsidy for the common man but will never give up their own subsidy.

The same people urging Nigerians to make sacrifices with the fuel subsidy can't make sacrifices by reducing their huge allowance

Providing adequate accommodation for public officials is an important aspect of ensuring efficient governance. However, it's essential to ensure that such expenditures are made with transparency and accountability in mind, taking into consideration the needs of all citizens. Let's hope that this allocation will be used judiciously and result in a positive impact on the nation.

24 billion for accommodation, i just fill like crying for dis country , if nigeria was a woman ,she would have been walking around naked ,dem don rape d country finish

National Assembly and governors are our biggest problem. This is beyond corruption but absolute wickedness.

Total package not up to 20m per annum per senator. That's fair.

The poor Nigerian masses are the ones to subsidize the political class under Tinubu.

More to come

These guys no get house before abi wetin.

Na poor man dey suffer, them remove subsidy on anything wey the common man dey benefit from but dem no wan touch their own.

abibox02:
Government should cut down cost of governance, I blame OBJ for selling the legislative quarter to legislature as inducement to support his 3rd term agenda. Since then, Tax payers money are being used to pay for the luxurious lifestyle of the NASS every year, we have not know their car, feeding, newspaper etc. budget

That Obasanjo is so useless

This allocation will favour me and my family IJN.

i told some people something about NASS and they keep arguing, NASS are the major problem of NIgeria

Babzrockman:
Nigeria never ready actually. Cost of governance is the major issue we have in this country

Over 5 billion for house and idiots are celebrating the removal of fuel subsidy when it's very obvious these people are only trying to make more money available to themselves for more looting.
Keep celebrating appointments and signing of bills. Shows how shallow some of you have become. You can call me Igbo or ipob or even a wailer I don't care. Just know that these people in power are taking you for a ride.

You go just die over nothing. You ha left the topic of discussion to be saying the trash you discussed in your beer joint.

Buhari and the last National Assembly approved this expenses, not Emilokan Tinubu, but Tinubu can still look into it. But, he wouldn’t now, he won’t want to start a confrontation with the National Assembly now, until he settles down

So every year, una go collect 24billion. And it keeps going up. While being paid heavy salaries per year. If you are paid that kind of heavy salary that runs into $400,000 and above per each member, accomodations is not supposed to be given to you. You sort your accomodations out yourself. This people eeh. Dem go kill una.

May the housing allowance of the house favour me and my family

Personally as one of those supposed idiots who celebrates the end of fuel subsidy, I would be glad if we could use that 25 billion for the subsidy instead of the House thieves

But this year we spent 3 trillion, plus 600 billion on subsidy. Government still owes NNPC 2.8 trillion subsidy money. 25 billion won't be enough even for one month of subsidy payments.

Might help fund a university or two better though

Eggxactly..

Ask Ngige sup

All these looters are land Lords and land lady's even before they were elected to the red chamber.They have already have aides and won't be changing their furniture every year.
Why can't they just stop all these embezzlement and cut these crap they usually bring out every year.
People are out there not able to get a job or feed,and you guys are here given someone that won't even sleep thrice in the house,house maintenance SMH

PUNCH PUNCH PUNCH!!!

These are just policies developed by RMFAC ..which is yet approved by NASS and State Houses of Assembly.

RMFAC has tried increasing allowances of political office holders since 2017 or so...they failed. What makes you think this will scale through

Why making this look like a law already in place

Now Nairalanders are already abusing Tinubu as if na new thing

KingKO22:
I pray our new president cut the government expenses to reasonable amount


They should remember that Nigerians are suffering especially the transportation fare is becoming unaffordable therefore use the available money judiciously


Jah bless patriotic Nigerians

Nobody is suffering, unless na only u and ur family dey suffer according to vagabonds
May Tinubu govt favour me and my family, according Agbado lunatics

This is outrageous.

The law makers job should be a part time job. I don't see anything special in what they are doing.

Their salaries should be equivalent to that of civil servants.

This way, only serious minded people will contest for senate or house of reps.

Lolssssss, dem never see anything. Some of d idiots no dey go house again bcs of bills upon bills

Unperturbedpota:


I don't think any politician cares about your suffering. It's either you get there and join them or enter crime to get rich.
Nigeria as a nation seems finished. Except Tinubu does something different. So far I am happy with what the APC president has been doing ,only this particular matter worries me that he hasn't yet taken steps to cut down the legislature expenditures.

But it's still too early yet let us pray for him and be positive

Whenever I hear pray for leader like a drug baron, I see such comment as comment coming from a failure

mugu, locate u and ur family for ogbomosho

Creamypie:
Na poor people wey dey support them go still suffer am.wetin consign me?

That's just d funny thing. Just take a walk to every cranny in Lagos and see how poverty is dealing with them and yet u see them celebrating nonsense

To save cost, they should make the sittings in the legislature a Part time business and they should also be paid the minimum wage of the Nigerian workers with just sitting allowances, then gradually watch how the mad rush by people to go to the legislature will be drastically reduced with only few and passionate people vying for elective positions.
