The former Governor of Niger State and current Senator representing Niger North Senatorial district, Alhaji Abubakar Sani Bello, has written and formally requested the suspension of his pension and allowances from the Government of Niger State for the duration of his service as a Senator of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
In a letter addressed to the Niger State Government, Senator Sani Bello stated his belief that it is ethically and morally improper for him to benefit from his pension and allowances as the former Governor of Niger State while simultaneously receiving emoluments as a Senator of the Federal Government, as these funds are drawn from the same source.
This decision underscores Senator Sani Bello’s commitment to transparent and responsible governance, as well as his dedication to serving the people of Niger State and Nigeria as a whole.
Recall that Senator Abubakar Sani Bello Served as the Executive Governor of Niger State from 2015-2023
