Kano Lawmaker Reveals N21 Million Monthly Earnings

In an interview with BBC Hausa Service, Kawu explained that the official salary set by the Revenue Mobilisation, Allocation and Fiscal Commission (RMAFC) is N1 million, but after deductions, it amounts to approximately N600,000.

He clarified that additional allowances significantly boost their total monthly income to N21 million. These allowances cover expenses such as office operations, newspaper subscriptions, local travel, and more.

This revelation came a day after RMAFC, the body responsible for determining salaries and allowances for political officeholders, stated that each of the 109 senators receives a combined total of N1.06 million per month in salary and allowances. RMAFC Chairman Mohammed Shehu made this clarification amid recent debates over the actual earnings of lawmakers.

Kawu contested this figure, asserting in his interview that while the official salary is less than N1 million and may drop to about N600,000 after deductions, senators receive N21 million monthly to cover office-related costs.
