Jumbo Salaries: “Some CBN Staff Are Paid More Than Ministers” — RMAFC Chairman

“jumbo salaries” is “operating cost”.

“I know some people will say members of the National Assembly get up to N10 million or N11 million monthly.

“Those are not salaries, they are like operating costs of running their offices which in other societies the legislator does not have to see because there is a structure.

“Once you get elected, you make that structure from your constituency office to computers to logistics to the size of your constituency.

Mr Shehu stated further that legislators ought to submit receipts for proper documentation and accountability.

“Wherever you have constituency office, the workers you hire, It is the National Assembly Service commission that is supposed to take care of that.

“But the Nigerian system allows the legislator to be given a certain amount and then he deals with that and retires the receipts,” Mr Shehu said.
