The House of Representatives, on Thursday, July 18, 2024, resolved to support the Federal Government with N648 million over six months by cutting their salaries by 50%.

This decision aims to support food sufficiency across the country and address the high cost of food.

The resolution followed the adoption of an amendment to a motion’s prayer moved by Deputy Speaker Benjamin Okezie Kalu, advocating for lawmakers to sacrifice 50% of their N600,000 monthly salaries to support Nigerians facing hardship.

Kalu’s amended prayer was to a motion by Rep Isiaka Ayokunle calling on proponents of the planned nationwide protests to jettison the idea and engage the government in dialogue.

The Deputy Speaker said the salary cut is to be used to support the federal government’s efforts to address the rising cost of foodstuffs in the country with the view to ameliorating the hardship Nigerians are going through.

By slashing their salaries by 50%, the 360 lawmakers will be sacrificing N108 million monthly for the next six months.

The motion was adopted and referred to the committees on Humanitarian Affairs, Finance and Budget for compliance.

Well it is a beat too late,  After six month what nest?  The house must make law that will totally stop cow haerdmen from using their  cows to eat fammers crops all over the country, so that the surply of food to the consummer market will increase.  300 Thousand naira monthly for the members of house of repretative is more than  enough, why minimum wages still remain 35 thousand Naira.  Afer all they living in Goverment houses, riding Government cars,  And so many other benefits

Remember what recently happening in Kenya,  Nigeria will be the nest if quick solution  is not comes out fast.   Hungry man is an angry man,  Many of the house of repretative members did not have university degree,  but millions of Nigerian young graduate men and women  walking jobless around all  over the country. in this case whom are you represent in the house of assemble?
