BREAKING: REPS TO PRESENT N704.91 MILLION HALF-YEAR SALARIES DONATION TO TINUBU
The House of Representatives will provide President Bola Tinubu N704.91 million on December 31, 2024, to help disadvantaged Nigerians who are suffering financially as a result of the elimination of the petrol subsidy.
Recall that on July 18, after a motion was adopted at a plenary session, the House decided to cut 50% of their salary for six months in order to alleviate the difficulties experienced by regular Nigerians.
In July, in response to a proposal by Deputy Speaker Benjamin Kalu, the House decided to stop the protests over terrible administration by allocating half of their wages to alleviate hunger in Nigeria.
While moving the motion, Kalu said, “This government is doing its best, but one year is not enough to address the challenges of this country. I want to plead with our colleagues to sacrifice 50 per cent for a period of six months.
“Our salary is N600,000 a month. I want to plead that we let go of 50 per cent of our salary for a period of six months. ”
Addressing his colleagues during Thursday’s plenary, the Speaker, Tajudeen Abba, said, “If you recall, about five months ago, we decided to contribute half of our salaries to address the critical needs of the Nigerian people. I am happy to inform you that so far, we have contributed N704,907,578.82.
“On December 31, I will lead a delegation of leadership to hand over the money to the President for the exclusive use of the vulnerable Nigerians who really need it.
“The contributions you made highlight the steadfastness and dedication of members to addressing the critical needs of Nigerians”.
