The Revenue Mobilisation Allocation and Fiscal Commission, RMAFC, has hinted on the possible increment of salaries of President Bola Tinubu, Vice President Kashim Shettima, senators, and ministers.
The RMAFC Chairman, Mohammed Shehu, who disclosed this, said their current salary was not tenable and unrealistic.
Addressing a press conference in Abuja on Monday, Shehu said the current salary structure had been unchanged since 2008 despite a hike in responsibilities and economic challenges.
However, Nigeria Labour Congress, NLC, has condemned such a move, warning against increasing the salaries of politicians.
NLC stressed that it would be unjust for politicians to enjoy salary increment when the average Nigerian is battling with inflation and poverty.
