SERAP VOWS TO SUE TINUBU GOVERNMENT OVER PROPOSED SALARY INCREMENT

Socio-Economic Rights and Accountability Project, SERAP, vowed to sue President Bola Tinubu’s administration if it implements the proposed 114 percent salary increment for elected office holders in the country.

SERAP, which asked President Tinubu to as a matter of urgency, reject the proposed outrageous increase of the elected public office holders’ salaries, also threatened to sue the Nigerian government over the N24 billion voted by the government to be spent on accommodation of the 10th National Assembly members.

The Chairman of the Revenue Mobilisation, Allocation and Fiscal Commission Muhammad Shehu had on Tuesday said the salaries of politicians, judicial and public office holders will be increased by 114 percent.

Also, the Nigerian government had voted to spend N5.87 billion yearly on housing allowances for members of the 10th National Assembly.

It therefore means that with the annual allocation of N5.87bn, in four years the Federal Government will spend N23.48bn on the lawmakers’ accommodation
