Hardship Relief: Why 50% of our salaries wasn’t deducted as pledged — Reps
The House of Representatives has explained why 50 percent of their salaries have not been deducted as part of their contribution towards cushioning the hardship being faced by the masses.
Recall that during a plenary session on July 18, the lawmakers pledged to donate half of their monthly salaries for six months to combat hunger in Nigeria. The lawmakers had said they earned N600,000 monthly and promised to release N300,000 each to support the Federal Government’s economic recovery efforts.
The spokesman for the House of Representatives, Rotimi Akin, in a statement said: “The House of Representatives remains committed to the resolution passed on July 18, which mandates a 50 per cent reduction in the salaries of honourable members for the period from July to December 2024.
We acknowledge and regret that this resolution was not implemented by the bureaucracy as intended for the month of July.”
