Breakdown of Tinubu’s ministers allowance for four years

President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s tenure is projected to allocate N8.63 billion towards ministers’ salaries and allowances within the upcoming four years, based on recent investigations.

There is a possibility of an increase in this amount pending the finalization of the review on public servants’ compensation by the Revenue Mobilisation Allocation and Fiscal Commission (RMAFC).

This is the first time a federal cabinet will be made up of 48 ministers since the return of democracy in the country in 1999.

Tinubu’s immediate predecessor, Muhammadu Buhari, had 42 ministers.

Similarly, in 2011, former President Goodluck Jonathan appointed 33 ministers to his cabinet, nine of whom were carried over from the late President Umar Yar’Adua’s administration.

The late President Yar’Adua appointed 39 ministers in 2007; while former President Olusegun Obasanjo had 42 ministers in 1999.

Ministers’ pay, allowances hit N1.5bn each in 4yrs less estacodes

Further analysis shows that the federal government will spend over N13 billion on the salaries and allowances of the ministers alone.
