The Minister of Transportation, Rotimi Amaechi has said his take
home monthly is N960, 000.00 and that includes N360, 000.00 for
house allowance.
Amaechi stated this Tuesday during the Book launch on the Biography
of late Foreign Affairs Minister, Mathew Mbu, titled “Dignity In
Service”.
Speaking at the function when called upon to lunch the book, the
Minister said “since everyone is revealing salaries, it is better I
reveal mine. As a minister, I earn N960, 000.00 every month. This
includes N360, 000. 00 for rent and I have to pay my aides from the
remaining balance.”
Recall that the Senator representing Kaduna Central Senatorial
District in the National Assembly, Shehu Sani recently revealed
that he and his colleagues receive N13.5 million monthly as running
cost.
Also speaking on the character of the author, Senator Matthew Mbu
Jr. challenged Nigerians to elect good people into power noting
that it is the only way the country will achieve desired
results.
The Senator while tasking Nigerians to reflect on what Nigeria
used to be, lamented that present public office holders and
politicians prefer to serve their interest over the interest of the
country.
Commenting on the state of the country, he said: “I served as a
Senator and when and if given opportunity, I will serve but I am
sorry to say it but Nigerians of today don’t go after those who are
actually committed despite the fact that we have them.
“We always forget the real thing. We have great men in this
country but they are never remembered. It is garbage in garbage
out; if we want good stuff, then we need to put in good stuff, we
have them in this country like my dad but they are always the
forgotten because they don’t make noise.
“Good stuffs don’t make noise and we Nigerians love noise
makers; so much of it. If you make noise in Nigeria, you will make
news but in other countries, they call you an empty barrel but in
Nigeria, you are celebrated”, he said.
Also speaking, Reverend Father Kekong Bisong said the
achievement of the former envoy is a lesson to younger
generation.
According to him: “Amb. Mbu served this country with dignity and
his achievement is a lesson to those who are called to public
service. To serve with dignity is desirable and it is possible and
when you do that, you will legacy behind. He was incorruptible. It
is still a possibility to transmit this to the younger
generation.
“We are celebrating him today because of his integrity. It is
important for us to realize that one day will be the end and how
will you be remembered? “
