I only get N577,000 monthly as pension from Lagos govt – Fashola

Date:

Former Minister of Works and Housing, Babatunde Fashola, has disclosed that he only receives N577,000 as monthly pension as a former governor of Lagos State.

Appearing as a guest on Arise TV programme “Perspectives” on Saturday, January 20, Fashola also debunked claim of receiving billions of naira from the federal government after serving eight years as minister.

He said, “The benefit I get I think is N577,000 monthly pension from Lagos State. That’s all I get. So, in spite of all the stories that we got several billions of money (after leaving office), I’ve come out to deny that repeatedly. Well I don’t know how long it lasts, but all I know is that I get N577,000 per month consistently.”

When asked if there were other benefits from the federal government, he said “no.”
