Minister of budget and economic planning, Atiku Bagudu, says he and his colleagues earn less than N1 million as a monthly salary.

Bagudu spoke on Saturday during an interview on Channels Television.

While answering a question on the monthly take-home of ministers, Bagudu said the Revenue Mobilisation Allocation and Fiscal Commission (RMAFC) determines their salaries.

ā€œMinisters, like every public official, have a payment that is determined by Revenue Mobilisation Allocation and Fiscal Commission,ā€ he said.

ā€œI have one official vehicle. I don’t even use it because I have a Camry that I enjoy driving. As minister of budget, I want to lead by example.

ā€œIn terms of how much a minister is paid by RMFAC, it is less than a million naira as salary.ā€

Asked how much ministers received as allowances, Bagudu responded: ā€œI don’t know of any defined allowance that a minister has, but I might be wrong.ā€

ā€œThis is published, and I can share it with you because it is determined by RMFAC; there is nothing additional to that for a minister,ā€ he added.

The minister admitted that the cost of governance is ā€œworrisome,ā€ adding that he sees the ā€œkittyā€ and how the country’s finances are allocated.
