The decision to donate half of their salaries was made during a plenary session in July 2024, where lawmakers unanimously agreed to the salary reduction as a demonstration of solidarity with the Nigerian people.
The move aims to bolster the federal government’s initiatives to control food prices and ease the financial strain on citizens.
Despite some initial delays due to bureaucratic processes, the House of Representatives remains committed to fulfilling their pledge.
The presentation of the donations to President Tinubu is seen as a significant gesture of support and shared sacrifice during these challenging times.
