Breaking News: My Salary Is 1.4M Naira- Sen Dino Melaye by ojdollars(m): 2:36pm On Aug 05, 2015
Senator representing Kogi West senatorial district In State of Kogi and Chairman, Senate Adhoc Committee on information, media and publicity, Senator Dino Melaye has publicly revealed his salary as a senator of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. In an interview on the program One-On-One on NTA International Wednesday, Melaye said his pay last month was 1.4M (about 6,000 dollars).

The salary of members of the National Assembly has been shrouded in secrecy with some only giving an estimate while majority dodge the question. This the first time a senator will give a definite value. Melaye also said that the new senate will open the senate to the public to know about their finances as a committee is already working on the report.

Nigerians have been calling for a reduction of members of the national assembly with report that senators collected as much as 15M naira per month and 13M for House of Reps member. The senate has an annual budget of 150bn naira.

However, Dino Melaye did not reveal whether the 1.4M naira include allowance. While still speaking, he also revealed that his wardrobe allowance is 42,000 naira per month.

It is very clear that the so called 1.4M is only his salary (that's still subject to verification and confirmation).

What about the allowances
Backyard runs


My simple question is..... is your work, proportionate to that amount of money you receive Or

Is it just a way of making the rich get richer, while the poor majority still wallow in abject anachronism of wretchedness

N1.4M <> $60K
N1.4M = $6k (approximate gross)

N1.4M is still a lot of money for the legislooters considering how they aren't actually good value for money

Incredible, last month pay.

Last month that consists of how many days.

Civil servant pay which does the bulk work should be immediately reviewed upward.

I hope Dino Malaye has not forgotten that he is a Senator and not a Honorable. Hope the N1.4 million isn't for House of Representative because the last time I checked, he called Sarakill a Speaker grin
