Senate leader, Opeyemi Bamidele.
Senate Leader, Opeyemi Bamidele, has dismissed claims that federal lawmakers determine their own allowances.
Rather, he insisted that salaries and official vehicle entitlements for members of the National Assembly were fixed by Revenue Mobilisation, Allocation and Fiscal Commission (RMAFC).
The News Agency of Nigeria reports that Bamidele was reacting to a court ruling that declared national assembly’s N110 billion SUV and allowance spending unlawful.
NAN recalls that a Federal High Court sitting in Lagos had recently declared unlawful the national assembly’s controversial N110 billion vehicle and allowance schemes.
