The
controversy
over the monthly salary of a Nigerian lawmaker has finally been laid
to rest with a formal disclosure of what the legislators earn. The
National Institute of Legislative Studies, NILS, apparently worried
by growing public outcry against the Nigerian lawmakers, on Friday
released a set of documents, showing what constitutes the earnings of
the 109 Senators and 360 members of the Nigerian House of
Representatives.
The documents, which were made available to Vanguard in
Abuja on Friday, indicated that the Nigerian lawmakers earn perhaps
one of the least salaries among legislators in the world, as against
the notion that their pay was outrageous.
