The new Senate President; Ahmad Lawan has revealed his take-home salary each month at his office when members of the Senators’ Forum paid him a courtesy visit. He said;
“What I want to emphasize here is that I never believed that there is anything called Jombo pay to the national assembly. The National Assembly members both the Senate and the House receive what is their salaries and I receive N750,000 as my salary. But I need to function as a senator, my office needs to be properly funded,”
Speaking on the affairs of the National Assembly he said;
“National Assembly is going to be open to the public, I believe that the national assembly should have everything open, let Nigerians Know, what we are doing. I believe that Nigerians need to understand this, we need to continually engage with Nigerians and I will also argue that we continue to explain to Nigerians, they deserve to know how their resources are being utilised. I believe that the national assembly needs proper funding because the legislature is so critical in any national development,’
