The Inter-party Advisory Council, IPAC, and Civil Society Organizations, CSOs, have kicked against plans by the Revenue Mobilisation Allocation and Fiscal Commission, RMAFC, to increase salaries of public office holders.
RMAFC, an agency responsible for determining salary structure in Nigeria, had announced recently that it has concluded arrangements to review the remuneration of political and public office holders as well as judicial officers in the country.
The move will also jerk up the bumper salaries of the president, vice president, Senate president, Speaker, judicial officers and other public office holders.

But both IPAC and the CSOs in the country rejected the move, insisting that it was untimely.
Speaking through their leader, Awwal Musa Rafsanjani, the CSOs urged Nigerians to rise up and ensure the salaries of such public officers are reduced instead.
