The nation's legislators have been on break since August 13 and reports have revealed the allowance they will receive for the recess.

 
Legilators have been paid N93m as allowance for the six weeks recess they embarked upon.
 
Senators and members of the House of Represntatives had embarked on the recess on 13th August after sitting for only 14 days and without debating any bills. They are to resume on the 29th next month.
 
It was gathered that the allowance was 10 per cent of the annual basic salary of the legislators as stipulated in the remuneration package for political, public and judicial office holders in Nigeria by the Revenue Mobilisation Allocation and Fiscal Commission (RMAFC).
 
A calculation of the recess allowance of the legislators at both chambers showed that the country coughed out the sum of N93,307,662 for it.
 
Unlike the three other recesses embarked upon by the legislators amid controversies rocking the National Assembly, the ongoing recess was their statutory annual holiday.
 
It was also gathered that aside from the recess allowance, the legislators in both upper and lower chambers have been paid their accommodation as well as what is tagged 28 days allowance.
