FCT, Abuja – The House of Representativesâ monthly salary is N600,000 as against the N900,000 that is being speculated.
Honourable Akin Rotimi, the Spokesperson of the House, made this clarification in a statement he released to the press on Wednesday, August 7, in Abuja.
As reported by Vanguard, he reaffirmed the commitment of the house to the 50 percent deduction in their salary to reduce hardship.
As reported by The Nigerian Tribune, he said that the member who displayed his salary on a TV programme was an exceptional case, because he assumed office through a court decision many months after the on-boarding process was concluded.
Rotimi added that the house remained committed to the resolution passed on July 18, which mandated a 50 percent reduction in the salaries of members for six months.
In another development, TimesNow.com.ng reported that on Tuesday, July 23, the House of Representatives amended the Police Act to allow the Inspector General of Police (IGP) to stay in office beyond retirement age.
According to the lawmakers, the amendment followed a request from President Bola Tinubu.
