Mr, Shehu Garba, Senior Special Assistant to President Muhammadu Buhari on Media and Publicity this evening denied reports in the media that President Buhari has slashed the wages and allowances of his newly appointed Ministers.
In a post on his Facebook wall, Mr Garba said; ''President Muhammadu Buhari has not tampered with the salaries and allowances of Federal Ministers. They remain as they have been prescribed by the Revenue Mobilization and Fiscal Commission under a law passed in 2008.''
''The President and the Vice President have voluntarily offered a 50 percent salary cut. This is voluntary and does not apply to Ministers and other political appointees.''
''Reports to the effect that the President has imposed an austere package on the ministers are unknown to us. The administration has not tampered with the salaries of ministers and that remain as prescribed under the law.''
