Dogara and Kaduna State Governor Nasir El-Rufai had during the closing ceremony of the National Assembly Management Retreat held in Kaduna last Friday challenged each to make public earning of governors and National Assembly members.
Following that challenge, El-Rufai on Monday published the breakdown of his security vote among other earnings.
