Coalition Against Corrupt Leaders (CACOL), a civil society organisation (CSO), has proffered the need for the slashing of allowances and salaries of elected
public officials, as the economic situation bites harder with its attendant pains on the people.
Media reports recently revealed that members of the National Assembly alone have received a total of N6.8 billion as salaries and allowances in the past
one year, even as the economy nosedives into recession.
Debo Adeniran, executive chairman of CACOL, described the remuneration packages, which include annual salaries, accommodation, vehicle maintenance, domestic
staff, entertainment and utilities allowances, as outrageous considering the present the prevailing situation.
