A former Speaker of the House of Representatives, Yakubu Dogara, has asked the National Assembly to open its books to the public to end all speculations about the remuneration of the lawmakers.
He made the call while speaking at the Open NASS session organised by the House at the National Assembly Complex on Wednesday. The ex-lawmaker disclosed that as the speaker of the House, his salary was N400,000 with N25 million allowance.

Dogara, while lamenting excessive demands from constituents, said opening the finances of the legislature to the public would help the lawmakers in the long run because it will “limit the financial demands on them occasioned by the belief that they earn huge salaries and allowances.”
