The scandal involving budget padding in the Nigerian Senate opens debates regarding how much public officials earn, particularly senators.

It is worth noting that Senator Abdul Ningi was suspended by the upper legislative chamber last week following his claims that lawmakers included fake projects in the 2024 budget, hinting at potential embezzlement of funds.

This scandal has also brought to light allegations that certain senators received ₦500 million for constituency projects.

Although the Revenue Mobilisation Allocation and Fiscal Commission (RMAFC) is responsible for determining the salaries and allowances of all public office holders in Nigeria, senators enjoy additional benefits such as constituency funds that the agency does not officially regulate.
How much Nigerian senators officially earn that we know

Collecting well over N30m per year and still complaining it’s not enough, whilst doing absolutely nothing to uplift the country. I’ve said this before, abolish bicameral system, it’s a waste of money. Adopt unicameral instead.

Nope they're not. You elected thieves to  superintend over you, now they're hard at work and you want  to  tell us you ever knew. No, you knew but tribe, religion and region  blinded your  conscience.
