It could be recalled that the conference leadership had agreed to seek extension from the federal government after it met with leaders of its 20 Standing Committees on Monday.
Now that the duration of the conference has been extended, each delegate will now get about N4.5 million more than the N9 million they were supposed to get for the three months.
It was reported that each of the 492-member (with three absentees) conference receives about N3million monthly.
