Breakdown of N29m monthly salary of House of Rep members

 

 

The breakdown of our members of National Assembly average take-home every month so that we will appreciate what we are talking about here. I know if I give a figure without the breakdown, some critics would demand I give the details, so I think without wasting much of our time and to inform those who didn’t know, it wouldn’t cost me anything to put it for the general consumption, remember we have 109 Senators and 360 members of the House of Representatives, summing up to 469members, let’s go ahead:
