The Revenue Mobilisation Allocation and Fiscal Commission (RMAFC) has confirmed that ministers who left President Bola Tinubu’s cabinet will each receive a severance package of ₦6,079,200. This amount is equivalent to 300% of their total salary and is awarded only after a successful tenure in office.
Clause of Successful Tenure
The federal government has included a clause making successful tenure a prerequisite for receiving the severance package. Only ministers who fulfilled their duties and completed their service period are eligible for the payout.
Wale Edun and Other Ex-Ministers
Among those entitled to the severance package is Wale Edun, alongside other former ministers who recently exited Tinubu’s cabinet. The payout is designed to serve as a financial conclusion to their time in office.
The announcement has sparked discussions about government spending and accountability. While some see the severance package as fair recognition of service, others question whether such large payouts are justified given Nigeria’s economic challenges.
