Lawan Reveals Senators Earn N1.5 Million, House Of Representatives Members, N1.3 Million Monthly Salary

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 at the First Distinguished Parliamentarians’ Lecture Series organised by the National Institute for Legislative and Democratic Studies.

The President of the Senate said the monthly salary of a senator was N1.5m, while that of a member of the House of Representatives was N1.3m.

He said the N13m thrown into the public space a few years back as the monthly salary of a senator was actually their quarterly office running allowance.

He therefore accused the media of instigating the public against federal lawmakers.

The Senator representing Yobe North maintained that the narrative of jumbo pays and expensive cars for legislators was skewed against members of the National Assembly.

He claimed that Nigerians do not raise eyebrows over the lifestyle of Ministers in the Executive arm of government.
