House of Reps Members want N7m pay raise from N27M to N35M Quarterly Allowance

Members of the House of Representatives on Wednesday launched an agitation for a N7m increase in their quarterly allowances, barely 24 hours after resuming from a two-month recess.

Each member of the House currently enjoys  N27m per quarter  as allowances but the lawmakers  want the sum jerked up to N35m. http://www.punchng.com/news/reps-want-n7m-pay-hike/

Some of the lawmakers, in seeking an  increased allowance, at the closed door session, reportedly raised questions of financial impropriety against the leadership of the House.

They reportedly questioned how the   “N5m” budgeted for each member’s medical expenses and insurance was utilised by the House.
