No federal lawmaker earns up to N10m – Rep

A member of the House of Representatives, Olaifa Jimoh, has dispelled insinuation that federal lawmakers earn jumbo pay, insisting that no lawmaker earns up to N10 million.

Jimoh, who is representing Egbado North/Imeko Afon Federal Constituency, disclosed that senators and members of the House of Representatives do not earn N36m or N25m as being speculated.

The lawmaker spoke yesterday at the graduation ceremony of 400 youths and women from Ogun West Senatorial District of the state who were trained in vocational skills.

SPONSOR AD

The lawmaker said the report that Nigerian lawmakers are the highest paid in the world is nothing but falsehood targeted at tarnishing their image in the country.

He urged anyone who is interested in knowing what federal lawmakers earn to approach the Salary and Wages Commission for such information.

“I stand to be challenged; nobody collects N10 million, including both salary and allowances,” he said.
