Legislating Litanies Of Inanities


Read Time: < 1 minute

“I have raised these questions not because the bill is worthy of debate, but to let the Senators know that they are igniting unnecessary rivalries and fires in the country”.

BY OWEI LAKEMFA

The Nigerian National Assembly (NASS), while earning one of the highest incomes in the world, has one of the lowest qualities of any parliament in the universe. Lawyers are wont to submit that he who alleges must prove. So, let me submit my proofs on both claims and, you judge if they are true.

One of the best kept secrets I know, is the income of the Nigerian legislator. But now and again, there are slips right inside the NASS. Senator Shehu Sani in March, 2018 revealed that his total income in the Senate was N14,250,000 per month. On August 14, 2024, Senator Sumaila Kawu, Kano South gave an update; his total income as a Senator, was N22 million monthly.
