In a show of support for President Bola Tinubu’s humanitarian efforts, members of the House of Representatives have donated N705 million from their salaries.

According to a statement by Stanley Nkwocha, Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media & Communications, the donation represents 50% of the lawmakers’ salaries for six months.

The donation was announced on March 17, 2025, during an Iftar dinner hosted by President Tinubu at the Presidential Villa in Abuja.

Rt. Hon. Tajudeen Abbas, Speaker of the House of Representatives, said the financial support is meant to help vulnerable people in Nigeria.

This gesture highlights the lawmakers’ commitment to assisting those in need and strengthening humanitarian initiatives across the country.

“On behalf of the House of Reps, the Hon. Speaker donated the sum of N705,000,000 (Seven Hundred and Five Million Naira), which he said is a six-month fifty per cent deduction from their salaries to augment the humanitarian engagements of Mr President and to support vulnerable people in the country,” the presidency’s statement partly reads.
