Reps to present N704.91m half-year salary donation to Tinubu Dec 31

On Thursday, the House of Representatives revealed plans to submit a sum of N704.91 million to President Tinubu to support vulnerable Nigerians facing economic hardships caused by the removal of the petrol subsidy, effective December 31, 2024.

It was previously resolved on July 18 that the House would reduce its members’ salaries by 50% for six months to alleviate the difficulties faced by ordinary Nigerians, following the adoption of a motion during a plenary session.

During Thursday’s plenary, the Speaker addressed his colleagues, saying, “As you may recall, five months ago, we made the decision to contribute half of our salaries to address the urgent needs of the Nigerian people. I am pleased to report that, to date, we have contributed a total of N704,907,578.82.”

“On December 31, I will lead a delegation of leadership to hand over the money to the president for the exclusive use of the vulnerable Nigerians who really need it.

“The contributions you made highlight the steadfastness and dedication of members to addressing the critical needs of Nigerians.”.

Following a motion by Deputy Speaker Benjamin Kalu, the House, in July, resolved to donate half of their salaries to meet the hunger need of Nigerians as part of efforts to stop the end bad governance protest.

While moving the motion, Kalu said, “This government is doing its best, but one year is not enough to address the challenges of this country. I want to plead with our colleagues to sacrifice 50 per cent for a period of six months.

“Our salary is N600,000 a month. I want to plead that we let go of 50 per cent of our salary for a period of six months.”
