President Tinubu Signs 300% Pay Raise For Judicial Officers.

 

President Bola Tinubu has signed the Judicial Office Holders Salaries and Allowances Bill into law, according to Senator Basheer Lado. The new law implements a 300% salary increase for judicial officers, a major development in the country's judicial sector. The bill was approved by the National Assembly in June after considering the President's executive bill aimed at improving salaries, allowances, and benefits for judicial officers and workers. The law introduces revised salaries, allowances, and benefits, and revises the Certain Political, Public, and Judicial Office Holders Act. Senator Lado hailed the signing as a groundbreaking accomplishment, underscoring President Tinubu's dedication to enhancing workers' welfare. The new annual salaries for top judicial officials are: Chief Justice of Nigeria (N64 million), President of the Court of Appeal (N62.4 million), Supreme Court Justices (N61.4 million each), and Chief Judges of Federal High Court, FCT High Court, and National Industrial Court (N7.9 million each).
