President Muhammadu Buhari
Security operatives attached to the Presidential Villa, Abuja, are
seriously unhappy over their unpaid allowances since last year.
According to the Punch, it was gathered that under former President
Goodluck Jonathan, all security agents attached to the Presidential
Villa enjoyed what they called Risk Cautious Allowance.
The security officers include those of the Nigerian Army, Nigeria
Police, Department of State Services, Nigerian Intelligence Agency,
Federal Road Safety Commission and Fire Service.
It was learnt that Jonathan’s administration paid the allowance up until March last year and left those of April and May unpaid.
It is now regrets for the security agents who are very sad that
since the inception of the present administration, they have not been
paid.
However, after media reports said the allowance was stopped, they
were assured by their bosses that the RCA had not been stopped as
reported.
They were later assured that they would be paid, but were also
promised that the rate would be reviewed upward. In the past, senior
officers were said to be receiving about N30,000 per month while junior
officers get about N25,000.
To assure the operatives of government’s readiness to continue the
payment, they were said to have been asked to open bank accounts with
Zenith Bank Plc where their RCA will subsequently be paid.
However, they are yet to receive anything after opening the
accounts. A top Presidency official, revealed that the security
operatives’ allowances had been approved in January.
Punch reports that the Special Adviser to the President on Media
and Publicity, Mr. Femi Adesina, declined comment, saying the matter is a
security issue.
