7

The Senate President, Ahmad Lawan has revealed the salaries and emoluments of members of the National Assembly to the public in Abuja.

He stated this in a  paper presented on Monday at the First Distinguished Parliamentarians Lecture Series organised by the National Institute for Legislative and Democratic Studies.

Ahmad Lawan said the monthly Salary of a Senator was N1.5 million while that of a member of the House of Representatives is N1.3 million.

He said the N13 million thrown into the public space a few years back as the monthly salary of a Senator was actually their quarterly office running allowance.

Lawan said, “The total salary of a member of the Senate is about N1.5m while that of the House of Representatives is about N1.3m.

“The quarterly office allowance for legislators is what is erroneously conflicted with a monthly income to create confusion and mislead the Nigerians.

“The average office running cost for a senator is about N13m while that of a member of the House of Representatives is N8m.”

When calculated, the N13m office running cost for a Senator amounts to N52m per annum while the N8m for a member of the House of Representatives amounts to N32m in a year.

Lawan’s lecture was titled, ‘The Legislature, Legislative Mandate and People – The Reality and the Public Perception.’

The allowances as enumerated by him, cover costs of local/international travel, consulting of professional services, medical services, office stationeries/computers, consumables, books, newspapers, magazines, maintenance of motor vehicles and office equipment among others.
