Table B4.5 Salaries and allowances for legislators: A comparison of Nigeria and other countries
Notes: a. Includes expenses for staff, mail, and travel. b. The Constituency Development Fund (CDF), as captured here for other countries, is not applicable to the Nigerian National Assembly. Instead, the entire amount of salaries and allowances for Nigerian legislators and the costs for running the National Assembly are reported in a single line item entitled “first line charge.” This totaled ₦150 billion in 2015. If the amount for basic legislator salaries and benefits is deducted, this amount becomes ₦135 billion. On a per capita basis, this amounts to ₦288 million ($1,460,000) worth of National Assembly support per legislator. Nigerian legislators also have a separate allocation in the capital budget for constituency projects. — = not applicable.
