The Vice president, Professor Yemi Osinbajo has said that he and President Mohammadu Buhari are on half salaries.
He disclosed this at the launching of a book, “The Essential of Beauty Therapy,” written by the wife of the President, Aisha Buhari held at the Old Banquet Hall of the presidential villa, Abuja on Thursday.
Osinbajo said Buhari was not given to frivolity and extravagancy, saying he was very strict on financial matters.
The public public presentation of the book came on day when the nation was observing two years anniversary of the abduction of over 200 school girls from Chibok, Borno State by Boko Haram insurgents.
Authorities said proceeds made from the sale of the books would be donated for the wellbeing of the parents and guardians of the school children who were yet to be rescued.
Speaking as the Special Guest of Honour at the occasion, Osinbajo who also represented the president, told the audience not to expect so much from him emphasizing that he and his principal were on half salary.
He however hailed the intellectual disposition of the wife of president which he said made the book possible.
He said that the book would also serve as an instructional manual and technical material to beauticians and people in the beauty world.
Osinbajo also highlighted the importance of girl-child education in the country.
