Former Speaker of the House of Representatives, Hon Yakubu Dogara, stated on Wednesday that his total allowance during his tenure as Speaker was N25 million, while his salary was N400,000.
Dogara emphasized the need for the clarification due to what he said was widespread misconceptions about the earnings of National Assembly members.
Speaking at the two-day House of Representatives open week celebration in Abuja, Dogara highlighted the importance of allowing legislators to perform their duties without undue financial pressure.
