While further disregarding the jumbo pay issue, he revealed that his monthly salary as a lawmaker and that of his colleagues was N750,000. “What I want to emphasise here is that I never believed that there is anything called Jombo pay to the national assembly. “The National Assembly members both the Senate and the House receive what is their salaries and I receive N750,000 as my salary. “National Assembly is going to be open to the public, I believe that the national assembly should have everything open, let Nigerians Know, what we are doing. “ I believe that the national assembly needs proper funding because the legislature is so critical in any national development,’’ he said.
