“Nigeria’s Financial Burden: Senators’ Exorbitant Salaries Amidst Economic Hardship”  — Ogundipe Daniel

The Nigerian economy is facing a critical juncture, and the recent revelation of senators’ annual pay has sparked outrage among citizens. The staggering figures highlight the vast disparity between the elected representatives and the average Nigerian worker.

As the country grapples with economic challenges, it is imperative to reassess the sustainability of the presidential system of government and the remuneration of senators.

A comparison of senators’ annual pay worldwide reveals that Nigeria tops the list, with an astonishing $2,183,685.00 per annum. This is far beyond what other countries pay their senators, including the United States, Canada, and European nations. The breakdown of an average Nigerian senator’s remuneration is equally shocking, with a total monthly salary of N29,479,749.00 ($181,974.00) and a yearly salary of N353,756,988.00.

In stark contrast, the average Nigerian worker earns a meager N48,000.00 per month, translating to a yearly salary of N684,000.00. This means it would take an average Nigerian worker an astonishing 517 years to earn the yearly salary of a senator.

By re-evaluating the presidential system and senators’ remuneration, Nigeria can work towards a more equitable and sustainable future for all citizens.
