‘Why should Senator, Rep earn N15m, N12m monthly?


National coordinator of the Forum for Justice and Human Rights Defence, FJHD, Oghenjabor Ikimi, weekend, lamented that the cost of governance in Nigeria was too high, saying,  he could not comprehend why a Senator earns as much as N15 million and member of the House of Representatives – about N12 monthly.

"I am yet to come to terms with the prohibitive cost of running both the Federal Government and the National Assembly and if I may ask, why is a Nigerian Senator earning as much as N15million per month
 
"Or better still, why should a member of the Nigerian lower house earn as much as N12million per month in terms of salaries and allowances, outside their constituency allowances", he asserted. Wow! speechless, that's an awful lot.
