The Senate approved a bill on Wednesday that grants a 300% salary increase for judicial officers at both the federal and state levels. The Senate Committee on Judiciary, Human Rights, and Legal Matters, led by Senator Mohammed Tahir Monguno (APC-Borno North), presented a report to the lawmakers, and the Red Chamber approved it. This action follows the consideration and adoption of an executive bill sent by President Bola Tinubu, which aimed to improve the salaries, allowances, and other fringe benefits for judicial officers and workers. The President's bill, titled "A Bill for an Act to Prescribe the Salaries, Allowances and Fringe Benefits of Judicial Office Holders in Nigeria and for Related Matters", provides for the following monthly packages: Chief Justice of Nigeria (CJN) - ₦5,385,047.26, Justices of the Supreme Court - ₦4,213,192.54, President of the Court of Appeal - ₦4,478,415.78, Justices of the Court of Appeal - ₦3,726,665.40, and Chief Judge of the Federal High Court, President of the National Industrial Court, and others - ₦3,527,022.61.
