The principal partner, Chinenye Chambers, Abuja, Barr Amobi Nzelu has said that cut down on the salary and allowances of each legislator at the National and State Assemblies will yield #258 million for each State.

In a letter he wrote to Senate President Godswill Akpabio over the week, the constitutional lawyer observed that at Nl150,000.00 per month, the cut down on salaries and allowances of both the National and State Assemblies will give employment to 1,718 graduates per State.

The 1,718 per state employees, according to him will yield 61,848 employees for the country less FCT, even as he added that the removal of constituency project from the budget of National Assembly at N250 million per person will yield N117.25 billion. This amount of N117.25 billion, he went on would give 65,138 graduates employment at N150,000.00 per month for a year.

According to the letter, the total number of graduates to be employed by the cut down on salaries and allowances of the National and State Assembly legislators and the removal of constituency projects in the budget of the National Assembly will be 126,986.

Nzelu therefore said that devolution of power is a sina qua non to the economic growth in Nigeria, lamenting that, Jonah in the State ship otherwise called corruption must be thrown overboard for the State ship to stabilize.

Hear him in details: “Cut down on the salaries and allowances of both the National and State Assemblies will yield #258 million per State. At Nl150,000.00 per month, the cut down on salaries and allowances of both the National and State Assemblies will give employment to 1,718 graduates per State. The 1,718 per state employees will yield 61,848 employees for the country less FCT and removal of constituency projects from the budget of National Assembly at N250 million per person will yield N117.25 billion. This amount of N117.25 billion will give 65,138 graduates employment at N150,000.00 per month for a year.”

He continued: “The total number of graduates to be employed by the cut down on salaries and allowances of the National and State Assemblies and the removal of constituency projects in the budget of the National Assembly will be 126,986, and devolution of power is a sina qua non to the economic growth in our country. The ‘Jonah’ in the State ship otherwise called corruption must be thrown overboard for the State ship to stabilize.”
