In an effort to demonstrate solidarity and support for Nigerians struggling through economic hardships, the House of Representatives has announced a 50% salary reduction for its members for the next six months.
This move, however, has been met with mixed reactions from the public, with many questioning the sincerity of the gesture and demanding greater transparency in terms of allowances.
Rep Isiaka Ayokunle’s motion on the need for dialogue rather than protests, which led to Deputy Speaker Kalu’s amendment, has stirred a heated debate on social media, with many Nigerians calling for a more concrete and impactful solution to the current economic crisis.
