The Minister of Transport, Rotimi Amaechi, has revealed his monthly salary as a minister.

The Former Governor revealed that he earns “only N950,000” a month out of which he also pays his aides.

He stated this at the presentation of a book titled, ‘Dignity in Service,’ authored by the late Dr. Matthew Mbu, a former Minister of Foreign Affairs.

Amaechi, who was the chairman of the occasion, in his remarks said it was not true that only past leaders were honest.

While extolling the virtues of the late Mbu, Amaechi who was governor of Rivers State between 2007 and 2014, said he would continue to promote transparency.

To prove his claim, the minister revealed that he earned “only N950,000” a month out of which he also paid his staff.

He said, “A minister earns only N950, 000 a month. Out of this money, N350, 000 is for accommodation so there is no more money given to you. The remaining N600, 000 includes payment for your staff, personal assistants and all that.”

According to Amaechi, President Muhammadu Buhari’s government had helped to stop the culture of waste such that private citizens no longer throw lavish parties.

The minister added, “Nigerians like going to parties. That is one benefit of this government. We now assess our wealth and value money. Before, once you get money from the illegal means, we hold parties. There are very few parties these days because there is no more money to hold such parties.

“There are no ‘owambe’ anymore because there is very little money to hold ‘owambe.’ The reason is that the ‘owambe’ money used to come from the government and there is no money in the government to do such.”
