 Reps to Present N704.91m Half-Year Salary Donation to Tinubu


The House of Representatives is set to present N704.91 million on December 31, 2024, to assist vulnerable Nigerians facing economic hardship due to the removal of the petrol subsidy.


In July, the House resolved to donate 50% of their salaries for six months to support ordinary Nigerians during these challenging times, following a motion moved by Deputy Speaker Benjamin Kalu.


Kalu had stated, “This government is doing its best, but one year is not enough to address the country’s challenges. I urge our colleagues to sacrifice 50% of their salaries for six months.”


During Thursday's plenary, Speaker Tajudeen Abba confirmed that the House had raised N704,907,578.82 through the initiative. He announced that, on December 31, he and other House leaders would present the donation to President Tinubu for the exclusive benefit of vulnerable Nigerians in need.


Abba expressed pride in the House's collective effort to address the country’s critical issues.
