Nigerians Slam Proposed Pay Rise for Politicians
Plans to increase salaries of President Tinubu, lawmakers, and ministers have drawn public outrage amid poverty and inflation.
RMAFC disclosed Tinubu earns N1.5m monthly, unchanged since 2008, but critics argue politicians already enjoy huge allowances while workers struggle on a poorly implemented N70,000 minimum wage.
Experts say the move is misplaced, warning it could spark unrest. Civil groups call it deceptive, urging government to cut allowances and prioritize workers’ welfare.
