Lawmakers in the Senate chamber of the National Assembly have agreed to contribute 50 percent of their salaries to the efforts to curb the spread and treatment of coronavirus in the country.
“After due consultations following a keen review of the national efforts to contain the coronavirus pandemic in Nigeria, the Senate wishes to announce that from March 2020, distinguished senators will be donating 50 percent of their salaries to these efforts to stop the spread of the disease, otherwise known as COVID-19, in our country,” he said.
“The Senate commends the efforts of President Muhammadu Buhari and the administration towards the goal of securing our nation against this plague.” He commended all agencies of the Federal and State governments for working in collaboration to protect public health across the country.
They should not receive any salary till 2023
Hypocrites....had it been they can travel for medical treatments, they wouldn't have done this cos they never have done it.....unserious leaders
That's good
Restructure!!!! Jumbo salary and milking dry of the nation common wealth
To who please?
50% of salary or 50% of their earnings
I'm I dreaming? Ok... I hope to wake up soon. Federal Govt. Should pay retirees, cater for children's free Medical needs, organize free meals for the aged people and pay more attention to the insecurity in Nigeria.
True... but fake news
Who dem epp...
Who's gonna monitor the process?
Even my 4 year old son knows it's story story as usual
N13m each?
bobbyedegbo Bcoz say e dey affect dem too

Igbayi larô yin éyin Jêgudujêra énia.
...out of fear that they will soon start contacting the virus.. Since it has only been prominent amongst politicians and public fund looters... Half salaries kee una dia..
They will embezzle it back. Let them kuku ma no donate. Who is deceiving who?
Non is Happy about it
Allowance will be better .Not salaries
Allowances inclusive?
It's no news again. Talk another thing biko
We are grateful..just that I wish it was done before now, for a productive reason, not for repairs ...a bunch of fucking unproductive thinkers they all are.
Just cut your salary first to 50%. Oil price is less than budgeted price. Then you can donate the 50%. Executive, judiciary and all civil servants that take home more than 180k per months. Government should subsidize prices of foodstuffs and electricity too. Sacrifice
MsTyma_ Owo de
They should donate their allowances.
AUDIO DONATION
Idiots we don’t need these useless donations, build hospitals, schools, steady water n electricity with these audio donations ~
To tackle ?instead of feeding the poor Masses who stood under the sun ☀️ to vote you all.😠
Why am I not impressed...
Audio donation
Let see the statement of account
Salaries or the allowances?
Not good enough...they stolen millions of naira they should do more than 50%
We will not hear word again because senators want to donate money to covid-19 Since 3 day now have been retweeting it. Iranu
You know nothing is free in Freetown
Good riddance. They should equally forgo their allowances for the year.
Cut out all the jumbo fat & unnecessary perks; or better still, just scrap & restructure.
Donating to who this time? Give money to people and not making donations into government purse.
Let these senators of our state or say how much they’re contributing
Crazy set of sitting monkeys. If e no affect the ones at d top una no no say Una package needs slashing b4
50% of their allowance would av been a better way to get our attention & applause
How much is the 50% again?
Audio money
Shame to them
Too little, too late.
Audio donation....
Official salary or unofficial, and for how many months?
A good intentions.Kudos
Very good
That's selfless. It will go a long way if channeled properly
Hope someone is doing the math of all this donation we don't want to hear no money for testing equipments ooo🤗🤗🤗
Audio donation
They should keep their salary and donate their allowances!
Eh!but where all this money dey enter?
How much is this 'monthly salaries' they're talking about? It's peanut compared to their total take home package. It's not something they should even make public. Shame.
Any audio donation, may the money disappear from their accounts 😂
Please let hear something who cares about the selfish criminal senator
Nooo... that's too much We just want them to forgo all there allowances to help fight covid_19😁😁
Can they stop making this a story except they are donating half of their salary (including allowances)
lol Niger with their wayo.... let them donate 50 percent of their allowance and let see if they will survive
I pray they do so and also their allowance coz this time we are Nigerian need serious help GodblessNigerian
Lai of the year. So lai mohammed dey learn oh
Who is fooling who ? Had it been the pandemonium is within the less privileged, would that come up ? And what is their provision for all lockdown ?
These are the necessary evil we have in this country, cant they donate it for the rest of the year, after all they have been looting this country with overbloated allocations to themselves.
Hmmmm my senetor
Including for the allowance?
E good dat if is implemented Tori Nigeria la wa
Nice one, even constituency allowances should be doled out for their constituents in combating this
Dey will regain the 50% X 100 % watch how the geometry will go
They should donate the other 50% for us to feed. We are seriously hungry in Isolation.
Let AIT,the almighty punch news papers, and Sahara reporters monitor this deductions.
So which one goes to the citizens they are representing?
Who are dey donate it to
Let them donate half of their allowance..
I prefer half of their allowances and silenced consistency proj pay that they never use for us
If they don't do it, then who should..? Na their responsibility
50% of their BASIC monthly salary amounts almost to nothing. It is only in Nigeria that legislators earn X amount as basic salary, but 100X as 'allowances'. Let these fat cats donate the N28m meant for the purchase of their 'official vehicles' towards the course of the COVID-19
Channels ... Where did they sit... National Assembly is locked down, so where did they sit to tell you. Channels you have joined them
No, it’s their allowance we want. They think we don’t know the difference. We ain’t falling for that salary sham
With all the allowances ......will be better
Can't they let go all
Yes they are donating half of their salaries since Covid 19 does not discriminate, it infects both the rich and the poor people. That explains the reason why they are doing such unprecedented sacrifice to the nation. Nigerian senate should be scrapped!
Story story,,, wat we won’t even see. How sure are we that they’d give it anyway But com to tink of it,, all the money and kits that have been donated, what use have they been put into? idontunderstandthiscountrysef 🙄
babajideotitoju, radiopaparazi, To give is not mandatory & attracts Almighty's unlimited blessing when it is UNHYPOCRITICAL! Their SALARIES are TINY PERCENTAGE of their BOGUS ALLOWANCES! Let the PAYCUT be their ALLOWANCES or both if they reverence the Almighty & life giver!
Just because the disease is not for the common man alone that’s why they are donating, if they have been doing this all this years I’m sure we will have a health care system that is better than what we have now....Rubbish.
Na them go still share am back with the rest of the money donated!🤣😫
But, they can till help by providing more to the constituents.
50 percent donation on paper
In Nigeria
Keep your salaries, donate your allowances.
For how many months?
Na audio oo 😂
Hope this news will not end on the Media, we need Action just like Tuface did without anyone knowing
This just like telling group of business men to transfer money from their Savings Account to their Current Account.
Audio donation
Hypocrite
Senators that are earning ₦12,000 per month
Sis this one news too😏
Nigeria with hypocrisy sha....lol
Audio donations.
50% of their allowances better

OK hoooo
Greedy bastards
Paper donation ...... them will still steal it.

We no dey see d money.mtchewww.
Àwọn olè rádaràda..
Why won't they? This is a disaster close to their necks unlike cholera and malnutrition which are to the poor.
Basic salary you mean.. let them keep it Jo or... 2.3m only. Who is fooling who?
You mean they gave out money to give themselves back?
Salary or allowance Salary is just 750k per month o while allowance is 13.5m per month Make una clear us which one...
The should give money to stay at home.
Why not their allowances?
50% Our leaders can be so funny
Let them donate 50% of their allowances..
remain blessed sir,may the Almighty God reward you.
A skeptic Nigerian may regard this as merely 'eye service' I am a skeptic Nigerian.
How about maintaining the status quo even after the pandemic?
Audio donation
All the donations that was made where did it go?
That’s like pocket change to them though But it’s a good thing
How much is their basic salary first? Does it include all those juicy allowances they get every month too?
Well, 50percent or not the original solution to this Corona v one and nine is also fight poor man hunger. Everywhere lockdown, stayhome, etc no food, no money, no going work, if poor man Gari don't finished make government know that Corona fight is coming.
When their allowances are 10X of their salaries. They shouldn't patronize us NassSuspendPay Let's be considerate and humane for once!!!
I don’t believe this, those people are selfish ooooo!!!! If they decide to do it, let it be ASAP!!!
Sanators to donate to senators,, with all the prayers,I wonder what's happening, Nigeria doesn't have senators, thieves
So much donations and palliatives, but Nigerians find it difficult to believe It because of the lack of sincerity. These Audio is too loud abeg🤷🤔
Shame just 50% smh themgive us 50% to collect 10000000000
The poor will not see kobo
After sucking dry the country
they should donate only 10% of their allowance
Good news although d pendamic isn't affecting d masses dat much.
This should continue after the crisis But it should be shared to all young people with verified bvn
I don't believe it🙄
Where is all this money going to
Wow that's nice!!...this corona is really changing the world for good ooo🏃🏃
Audio donation every where why
Senstors have tried but that does not match with the responsibility of their representations. Senators represent Nigeria just like d president. Senators are to make huge donations outside their salaries nd cut frm their budget We urge DrAhmadLawan NGRSenate to look into this
Some of the senators are crying for there salary to pay before next month and they are not read to help is country even in this time now is not there business. God help us God help the world
Does anyone know how much this equates to? 20k Naira x 300+ senators?
Left to right pocket 🤔🤔
Lol who are dey fooling? Audio donation 😂😂😂😂😂😂
covidー19 has only killed one person in 🇳🇬 yet it has drawn funds + need attention nassnigeria Yet over a Million people have died from the scourge of boko harams Only yesterday over 50 gallant HQNigerianArmy lost in one day but common Coronavirus that malaria drug cures
We're is the money going to?
Now have they died.
Nawa
Now we are getting some favorable reactions
Nigerians have been donating their lifes to this country so what so special about their 50% are they even suppose to still be paid for doing nothing while the tax payer are hungry.
Which of the salary? The official salary or unofficial salary ? Please be specific.
Let them donate 50% of their allowances,and not their salaries.
Another political strategy to draw international recognition and appraisals covid19 StayStay
Not good enough they should give everything. IAmPallyy rycherich
I don't believe this 🙄🙄🙄
Not again this criminal
Better for them
