Nigerian Ministers to be appointed by Mr. integrity,President-elect, Gen. Muhammadu Buhari (rtd) will on assumption of office receive welcome perks amounting to N9bn each for housing and furniture allowances, reports have said. The perks of office include the housing allowance which each of the incoming office holder is entitled to receive once a year, the furniture allowance which they are entitled to once in four years and motor vehicle loan which they are entitled to once in their tenure.
The perks are some of the non-regular allowances that the political office holders are entitled to as prescribed by the Revenue Mobilization, Allocation and Fiscal Commission.
There are other allowances, both regular and irregular ones, but housing, furniture and motor vehicle are paid at the beginning of the tenure of the office holders to ensure that they settle down appropriately. N9bn for each minister, while countless Nigerians are jobless and living in abject poverty.Is this the change we were promised?
