    As of September 2025, the Revenue Mobilisation Allocation and Fiscal Commission (RMAFC) has initiated a review of President Bola Tinubu's remuneration, currently set at approximately ₦1.5 million monthly—a figure unchanged since 2008. This proposal seeks to address economic realities amid rising responsibilities.

    Historical Context: In June 2023, RMAFC recommended a 114% increase to ₦8.1 million monthly, but President Tinubu declined implementation, prioritizing fiscal prudence during economic challenges. The current review revives this discourse, though no final adjustments have been enacted

    Current Developments: RMAFC Chairman Mohammed Shehu has described the existing salary as untenable for a nation of over 200 million. However, Socio-Economic Rights and Accountability Project (SERAP) filed suit FHC/ABJ/CS/1834/2025 on September 7, challenging the proposal as unconstitutional and seeking judicial restraint. A hearing is pending, stalling progress.

    Outlook: This matter underscores tensions between governance costs and public welfare, especially with the ₦70,000 minimum wage in place. We advocate for equitable reforms that prioritize national development. Your insights are valued
