Senate President, Dr. Ahmad Lawan says there is nothing like jumbo pay for lawmakers in the National Assembly, adding that no such payment would be allowed under his watch.

Igbere TV reports that Lawan made the disclosure when he received a delegation of the Senators’ Forum on Tuesday at the National Assembly complex.

Our National Assembly correspondent reports that members of the forum were on a courtesy visit to the Senate President’s office, in Abuja.

Speaking on salary structure for senators, Ahmad Lawan revealed that his monthly salary as a lawmaker and that of his colleagues was N750,000.

He said, “What I want to emphasize here is that I never believed that that there is anything called jombo pay to the National Assembly.

“The National Assembly members both the Senate and the House receive what is their salaries and I receive N750,000 as my salary.

“But I need to function as a senator, my office needs to be properly funded,” he said.

He promised that activities of the national assembly was going to be open to the general public, particularly in the area of funding.

“National Assembly is going to be open to the public, I believe that the national assembly should have everything open, let Nigerians Know, what we are doing.

“I believe that Nigerians need to understand this, we need to continually engage with Nigerians and I will also argue that we continue to explain to Nigerians, they deserve to know how their resources are being utilized.

“I believe that the national assembly needs proper funding because the legislature is so critical in any national development,’’ he said.

The Senators’ Forum is made of both serving and former senators numbering about 600.

. This is basic salary....what about allowances?
Re: Ahmad Lawan Reveals His Salary, Says No “Jumbo Pay” For Senators by LarryBee1k:
Many Nigerians were shocked after recent
revelations from a prominent politician, Shehu Sani, that Nigerian senators are entitled to monthly expenses of 13.5m naira (£27,000; $37,500), in addition to their monthly salaries of more than $2,000.

Taking the salary and expenses together, how does your income compare to that of a Nigerian senator? Use our interactive calculator to find o
A senator's income (including expenses) is about 156 million naira per year.

If you were earning the minimum wage (₦18,000):

It would take a senator 1 hour and 1 minute to receive your monthly income.

On your current salary, it would take you approximately 722 years and 3 months to earn what a senator receives in a year.

If you had started working in the year 1296 you'd almost have caught up with them by now.

A senator's monthly income could buy 866 bags of rice, while your monthly income could buy 1 bag of rice

Re: Ahmad Lawan Reveals His Salary, Says No “Jumbo Pay” For Senators by akdjr(m): 11:07pm On Jun 25, 2019
In 1999 when Obasanjo moved to
stop the Senate Presidency bid of Senator Chuba Okadigbo who was adopted
by the leadership of the ruling party at that time, the People’s
Democratic Party (PDP) to emerge as the Senate President.

Obasanjo’s preference was Senator Evan Enwerem who decamped from All
People’s Party (APP) to PDP after winning his election to represent Owerri
Senatorial District of Imo state. Obasanjo’s penchant for him was on
account of his belief that Enwerem would be much easier to control and
rail-road than single-minded Okadigbo. I am sure you have not discovered those two words "Rubber stamp" author=celeiyke post=79667424]Rubber stamp senate president[/quote]
