My allowance as Speaker was N25m, salary, N400k – Dogara

Former Speaker of the House of Representatives, Hon Yakubu Dogara on Wednesday said that his total allowance while he was the Speaker of the House was 25 million naira while his salary was 400 thousand naira.

The clarification Dogara said was necessary following public misconception that members of the National Assembly earn huge salaries and allowances.

“While I was Speaker my salary was 400 thousand Naira and my total allowance was 25 million naira, I told my accountant to open a separate account for the allowances and I never for once took any money out of that account everything that came into that account was used to cater for the needs of constituents.
