Emir of Kano

The Emir of Kano, Sanusi Lamido Sanusi has told President Muhammadu Buhari, Vice President Yemi Osinbajo and The Lawmakers to reduce their salaries by 50% instead of increasing VAT by proposed 50% in other to pay minimum wage.

In his words he said it is not right for the Federal Government to increase VAT by 50% in other to be able to pay workers minimum wage salaries. He advises that the best thing to be done is for the FG to reduce it's own salaries which will be well enough to pay workers the minimum wage.

He further made it clear by stating how much each persons are receiving starting from the President down to the lawmakers in a single.

President Buhari's total emoluments stands at N14m
Vice President Osinbajo's total emoluments stand at N12m
Senators in Nigeria earn N36m
House of Reps. Members earn N25m

It is only in Nigeria Senators would earn higher than President. The Emir said his humble suggestion is that President Buhari should slash his salary by 50% making it N7m and his VP becomes N6m.

While Senators should earn N5m monthly then House of Reps should earn N4m monthly instead of increasing VAT by 50% for poor Nigerians.
