Bukola Saraki has donated
his entire severance allowance to Leah Sharibu and some other victims of
insurgency.
The former Senate President
made this known via a statement by his media aide, Yusuph Olaniyonu, on Sunday,
Premium Times reports.
Severance allowance is a
one-off payment to lawmakers who are not returning to the National Assembly.
Mr Saraki, in the last
general election, lost his bid to return to the Senate in his Kwara Central Senatorial
District.
The severance package of a
Senate President is about N7.5 million.
Mr Saraki has now divided
the amount into four in donation, the statement notes.
The beneficiaries include
the family of Leah Sharibu, a school girl who is being held by Boko Haram after
she and other girls were abducted from Dapchi town in Yobe State, and the
families of two humanitarian workers abducted and subsequently murdered by the
insurgents, Hussaini Ahmed Khoisan and Hauwa Liman.
Ms Sharibu was kidnapped in
February 2018 while the aid workers were murdered in October of the same year.
The fourth beneficiaries
are children of late members of the Eight Senate who may require financial
assistance in furtherance of their education.
After deaths of some
lawmakers, the Senate in 2018 resolved to establish a Trust Fund to assist
their family members.
