The House of Representatives has resolved to support the Federal Government with N648 million for six months by slashing their salaries by 50% to support food sufficiency across the country and to address the high cost of food.
While making this resolution on Thursday, the lawmakers also begged Nigerians to exercise more patience with President Ahmed Tinubu’s led administration in addressing challenges and hardships faced by citizens.
The House further mandated its Committee on Appropriation, Humanitarian Affairs, Finance and Budget to ensure compliance.
Thus followed the adoption of a motion moved on the floor of the House by Ibrahim Isiaka, APC- Ogun State, during plenary in Abuja.
