The Chairman of Revenue Mobilization Allocation and Fiscal Commission, Mohammed Bello Shehu, says no Nigerian legislator or minister earns more than one million naira in a month.
He said this while denying the notion that the review of the payment the Commission has embarked on is to increase the salary of politicians and political office holders.
The Chairman said the payment review exercise was ordered by President Muhammadu Buhari following a recent serious agitation for review of salary of judges, adding that they are going beyond just salaries to fix other issues as well.
Recall that the Commission had weeks ago announced that it has concluded arrangements to start the process for carrying out the review of the payment for Political, Public and Judicial office holders in the country.
