For years, the earnings of members of the National Assembly has been an issue of controversy, with reports of them being one of the highest in the world.

For civil servants working in the National Assembly, the reality has been very grim. In February, the legislative aides had to shut down the complex with protests for 22 months allowances the management was owing them.

The first sign of the grim reality starts from the sight of the shuttles buses. The buses which are in terrible conditions, take people from the Eagle Square junction to the second gate of the National Assembly.These buses are in sharp contrast to exotic vehicles the lawmakers ordered for themselves. In 2020, the lawmakers reportedly took delivery of 400 exotic Toyota Camry 2020 model and 14 Toyota Land Cruiser Prado sports utility.

“Before, we used to have these coaster buses run by PASAN for staff. They pick passengers from the junction and take them to the white house. Due to lack of maintenance, the vehicles are not working again,” another staff told DAILY POST. These lawmakers also get 6.0 million and 5.9 million once in 4 years as Senators and Reps respectively for furniture. Aside from these, the lawmakers also get the controversial cost of running office which is about N13.5 million per month for Senators and N11.5 million per month for Reps members.
