SERAP Sues FG Over 114% Salary Increment For Tinubu, Shettima
SHARE

The Socio-Economic Rights and Accountability Project (SERAP) on Wednesday, said it will sue President Bola Tinubu’s administration over a 114 per cent salary increment for elected officials.

SERAP argued that the 114 per cent salary raise for Tinubu and Vice President Kashim Shettima, State Governors and lawmakers’ was “outrageous.”

The Socio-Economic group stressed that its argument was because over one hundred and thirty-three million Nigerians were currently living in “extreme poverty.”

Taking to Twitter, the group argued;

“We’re suing the Tinubu administration over its outrageous and illegal 114 per cent increase in the salaries of the President, vice president, state governors and lawmakers, while over 133 million Nigerians live in extreme poverty.”

The salary increases for elected officials, including the president, vice president, governors, members of Congress, and those holding judicial and public office, were approved by the Revenue Mobilization, Allocation and Fiscal Commission (RMAFC) at a rate of 144 per cent.

The President, the Vice President, the Governors, the Deputy Governors, the Ministers, the Commissioners, the Special Advisers, the Legislators, and the holders of the offices mentioned in Sections 84 and 124 of this Constitution were all subject to RMAFC’s judgment regarding the appropriate compensation.

The commission urged the 36 state Houses of Assembly to expedite efforts to amend pertinent laws to allow for an upward review of compensation packages for political, judicial, and public officers.
