While members of families of deceased Vice-Presidents are entitled to #750,000.00 every year payable quarterly in installments of #187,500.00.
The above allowances are for the up-keep of their spouses and education of their children up to University level. Note that any spouse of a former Head of State, President or Vice-President that remarries is not entitled to the allowances mentioned above.
