President Muhammadu Buhari has been recorded as the lowest-paid African President.

His end-of-month salary has been capped at $69,000.

With Nigeria tagged as a corrupt state, with several monies going missing, not forgetting embezzlement of funds, one would assume President Buhari's take-home salary would be outrageous.

The highest paid African president for the year 2021 is President of Cameroon Paul Diya. He receives a monthly salary of $620, 976.

Below is a list of the Highest paid African President as compiled by Africa Info 247:
