Former Minister of Works and Housing, Babatunde Fashola has said the only financial benefit he receives from the government is N577,000 monthly pension he gets as a former governor of Lagos.
According to him, he is not receiving billions of naira from the federal government as speculated by some Nigerians.
The former Lagos Governor disclosed this when featured on Arise TV programme ‘Perspectives’ monitored by TRIBUNE ONLINE on Saturday.
His words; “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 simply said “no”.
