 A federal high court sitting in Lagos says it is illegal for the National Assembly to fix its own allowances. In what is being described as a landmark judgment, Justice Chuka Obyoso said only the Revenue Mobilization Allocation and Fiscal Commission can fix salaries for public officers. Obyoso delivered a judgment in a suite filed by a former vice president of the Nigerian Bar Association, Monday Ubaning. A former lawmaker, Senator Shea Husani, had said in March 2018 that he received 13.5 million error allowances monthly. Obany subsequently asked the court to decide if the National Assembly had the right to arbitrarily fix its allowances. He also asked the court to order the National Assembly members to refund such jumbo allowances received.
