The Revenue Mobilisation Allocation and Fiscal Commission Chairman, Mohammed Shehu, says the commission will do what is best for the country when reviewing the pay for politicians, judges, and public officers.
The commission approved the increment of salaries of political office-holders, judicial and public office holders by 114 percent.
A Federal Commissioner in the Commission, Rakiya Tanko-Ayuba, says implementing the reviewed remuneration packages was effective from January 1, 2023, a claim that the RMAFC Public Relations Officer, Christian Nwachukwu, had strongly denied.
It was also reported that with respect to the judicial office holders, the commission considered the introduction of three new allowances.
