RMAFC Criticized By NLC For Enabling Public Officials’ Salary Mismanagement

A Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) official has accused the Revenue Mobilisation, Allocation and Fiscal Commission (RMAFC) of concealing the embezzlement of public funds. This allegation follows a statement by RMAFC Chairman Muhammed Bello Shehu, who detailed that each Nigerian senator receives a monthly salary and allowances totaling ₦1,063,860.00……CONTINUE READING

In his statement, Shehu broke down the components of this amount, including a basic salary of ₦168,866.70, and various allowances for vehicle maintenance, personal assistance, domestic staff, and other expenses.

However, Senator Abdurrahman Kawu Sumaila (Kano South), Chairman of the Senate Committee on Sports, disclosed on BBC Hausa Service that he earns ₦21 million monthly in allowances alone, in addition to a salary of about ₦1 million. Sumaila noted that his salary, set by RMAFC, is significantly lower after deductions, and claimed that the substantial monthly allowance is used as running costs for senators.

An anonymous NLC official criticized RMAFC, stating to Vanguard that the commission’s disclosure is a cover-up for the excessive remuneration of National Assembly members, accusing them of contributing to the misappropriation of public funds in Nigeria.
