NIGERIA’S public sector wages panel has proposed a pay cut for the president, from 70000 naira to 23500 naira per month for the president, officials said on Monday. The proposal made last week by the National Salary and Income Commission, was rejected by the Senate, and sent back to the presidency, commission officials said. It is now up to the president to decide on whether to pursue commission proposals. Alongside the pay cut proposed for the president, the commission suggested cutting the senators’ current salary by 3000 naira a month to just 12000 naira.
