The Revenue Mobilisation, Allocation and Fiscal Commission (RMAFC) has cleared the air on the proposed 114 per cent increment of salaries of President Bola Tinubu, Vice President Kashim Shettima, state governors, other political office-holders, judicial and public office holders.
In an exclusive discussion with LEADERSHIP, RMAFC Public Relations Officer, Christian Nwachukwu, explained that President Tinubu has not given approval for the increment, adding that the process is yet to be completed.
Rakiya Tanko-Ayuba, a Federal Commissioner in the Commission, had made the salary increment disclosure when she represented RMAFC chairman, Mohammad Shehu, at the presentation of the reports of the reviewed remuneration package to Kebbi State Governor, Nasir Idris, in Birnin Kebbi, on Tuesday.
Tanko-Ayuba reportedly said that implementation of the reviewed remuneration packages was effective from January 1, 2023.
A LEADERSHIP report, however, quotes the Commission’s spokesman as saying: “Not my chairman. Not my chairman. My chairman has never made any statement on it. And I have not made any statement on it. No statement from chairman, no statement from me. So, I don’t know. I heard one of the Commissioners said it.”
