Barley five days after LEADERSHIP exclusively reported that the House of Representatives was yet to disburse the N540 million realised from the slashing of members’ 50 percent in the last five months, Speaker Tajudeen Abbas has announced that a total of N704.98 million contributed for whole six months period will be handed over to President Bola Tinubu for disbursement to the suffering poor Nigerians.

LEADERSHIP Sunday, one of the weekly titles, had revealed that 50 per cent of each lawmaker’s basic salary of N600,000 per month translates to N300,000 per month.

This implies that the whole House would contribute N108 million monthly and N540 million for the five months already covered.

Some senior officials of the National Assembly bureaucracy had confirmed to LEADERSHIP Sunday that the total amount deducted from the lawmakers’ salaries had not been disbursed to the targeted beneficiaries.

But upon resumption of plenary yesterday, Abbas explained that the donation will be handed over to President Bola Tinubu on December 31, 2024.

The House had on July 18, adopted an amendment to a motion of urgent public importance, proposed by the Deputy Speaker of the House Hon. Benjamin Kalu (APC, Abia) that lawmakers should contribute 50% of their monthly salary of N600,000 to assist Nigerians during these challenging times.

The speaker said: “If you recall, about five months ago, we decided to contribute half of our salaries to address the critical needs of the Nigerian people. I am happy to inform you that so far, we have contributed 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.
