The source of the special report on Nigerian Senators' salary is said to be the Economist whereas, according to Section 70 of the 1999 Constitution, "A member of the Senate or of the House of Representatives shall receive such salary and other allowances as the REVENUE MOBILISATION ALLOCATION AND FISCAL COMMISSION(RMAFC) may determine." However, the Senate and the House of Representatives rejected the RMAFC approved salary and allowances and unilaterally approved higher pay to themselves secretly. Consequently, an NGO named Legal Defence and Assistance Project (LEDAP) filed a legal suit against the National Assembly demanding to know details of salary, emolument and allowances of members of National Assembly. An Abuja High Court led by Justice Balikisu B. Aliyu, on Monday June 25, 2012, ordered the National Assembly to release within fourteen days, details of salary, emolument and allowances received by its members between 2007 and 2011 to LEDAP. The National Assembly appealed against the order to the Appeal Court where it is now still pending for hearing. Therefore, I am inclined to believe that the figures quoted in the Agenda Reports are from RMAFC approved figures but what the National Assembly members granted themselves secretly are much more higher.
