"Reduce Politicians' Salaries & Increase Teachers Salaries"Senator Ben Bruce Tells Pres. Buhari

Senator Ben Murray Bruce is one of the few senators advocating the well fare of Nigerians publicly via his social network.From telling the Federal government to promote made in Nigeria goods including cars which made him lead over 20 of his colleagues to Innoson Motors to purchase made in Nigeria cars,the seasoned Nigerian has also appealed to the Federal Government to cut the excessive finances accrued to Nigerian serving politicians and increase the salaries of some civil servants in the country especially teachers.In a message posted on Facebook and Twitter to mark the 'World Teacher's Day' on Wednesday, the senator has called on the President Muhammadu Buhari to reduce the salaries of politicians

The chairman of Silverbird group who lamented the plight of teachers, saying they deserve better pay, added that Nigeria would be a better country if teachers were properly remunerated

He wrote “Nigeria has some of the highest paid politicians and some of the lowest paid teachers. Flip this equation and Nigeria will develop. “On this World Teachers Day, I thank Nigeria’s teachers and urge that salaries of politicians be reduced so that teachers’ salary can be increased! “Teachers are much more relevant to the progress of Nigeria than we politicians. A well paid teacher is a better teacher but is a well paid legislator a better legislator?,”
