Nigerian senator says N14 million monthly salary not enough to run office

Abia North Senator Orji Kalu has said he earns a total of N14 million monthly in running costs, salary and allowances.

Mr Kalu, a former governor of Abia State and member of the All Progressives Congress (APC), however, said the N14 million monthly pay is not enough to buy fuel for his cars and manage the affairs of his constituency offices in a country where a worker’s minimum wage is N70,000.

The senator said this in an interview with Channels Television on Thursday.
