The Chairman, Presidential Advisory Committee Against Corruption (PACAC), Professor Itse Sagay (SAN), has put a lie to a statement credited to the Senate President, Ahmed Lawan that his monthly salary is N750,000.
Professor Sagay made it clear today, June 26 that the Senator President and his colleagues earn N15 million monthly and not N750,000 as claimed by the Senate President.
The Senate President on Tuesday said that there was no such thing as ‘jumbo pay,’ adding that he earns N750,000 as salary.
Sagay reacted by saying: “He (Senate President) knows that nobody will take him seriously. I respect and like him but what he has done is to give half-truth. He is telling us the actual salary without mentioning anything about the allowances.
“That’s where the jumbo pay comes in when you talk of building, furniture, domestic this or that, 15 items and those items alone bring everything up to N13.5 million a month. So, simply mentioning the base salary, which brings it over N14 million, is not sufficient.”
