At the onset of a new administration in Nigeria, it is appropriate to
have a new look at many things that bedevil the nation.
Apart from those that are apparent, there is one issue which continues to evade public attention. The lack of information and interest by the public on the total remuneration, including take home pay of our Senators and Members of the House of Representative is one of those unpardonable lapses by Nigerians.
Members of the National Assembly, like all federal elected or appointed Nigerians, are all political office holders.
By this classification, they are paid by tax payers, personal or corporate. Nothing should be shrouded in mystery about the benefits these public servants and others take from the national till.
