Former Abia State Governor, Orji Uzor Kalu, has disclosed that his monthly salary as a Senator amounts to just N14 million.

There has been ongoing debate regarding the monthly earnings of Nigerian federal lawmakers, with some suggesting they earn up to N21 million.
“I earn N14 million for everything in a month. That is everything encompassing, the overhead, the worker’s salary, everybody,” he said
He also stated that the N14 million is not enough to buy petrol to travel to his constituency, maintain the constituency office, among other things.
