Olawuyi, who represents Ekiti, Isin, Irepodun and Oke-Ero Federal Constituency of Kwara, in a statement, he signed on Tuesday disclosed that members of the House of Representatives, had agreed to donate their 100 percent salaries for March and April to fight COVID-19.

He said the speaker, Rt. Hon. Femi Gbajabiamila, had directed the clerk of the house to ensure members' salaries for the month in question was transferred straight to the account of the National Relief Fund for the fight against COVID-19.

Olawuyi said that the Speaker directed his committee and that of Health to ensure that funds and relief materials donated towards the fight of the COVID-19 were properly disbursed for accountability purpose.
