Nigeria’s Revenue Mobilisation Allocation and Fiscal Commission (RMAFC) has submitted recommendations to President Bola Tinubu on a review of remuneration packages for political and public office holders. According to the reports, the submission forms part of the RMAFC’s statutory responsibilities related to determining or reviewing pay structures for officials in government.
Both accounts describe the same action: RMAFC forwards its pay-review proposals to the president for consideration. The reports do not detail the specific figures or changes proposed, nor do they outline the president’s response. However, they indicate that the process is at the stage of presenting the commission’s recommendations to the executive for possible adoption and implementation.
The RMAFC’s review is expected to influence how remuneration for political office holders and public officers is adjusted going forward, subject to subsequent government review and approval.
