President Tinubu Signs Bill To Increase Salaries Of Judicial Officers

President Bola Ahmed Tinubu on Tuesday signed the Judicial Office Holders Salaries and Allowances Bill into law.

This was contained in a statement issued by the Special Adviser to the President on Senate Matters, Senator Basheer Lado.

This legislation, which was initially proposed by President Tinubu in March, aims to amend the salaries of judicial officers in Nigeria.

Gistmania recalls that in June, the National Assembly approved the bill, granting a significant 300 percent salary increase for judicial officers at both federal and state levels.

Lado emphasized that this move reflects the President’s commitment to prioritizing the welfare of Nigerian workers, citing a recent instance where President Tinubu paused a Federal Executive Council meeting to assent to a new National Minimum Wage Bill of N70,000.

“This landmark decision reflects Mr President’s profound dedication to ensuring that every salary earner in Nigeria, especially those serving in vital and strategic roles, receives the recognition and compensation they deserve,” Lado said.

The new law amends the Certain Political, Public and Judicial Office Holders (Salaries and Allowances, etc.) Act, No.6, 2002, by removing outdated provisions related to judicial office holders and establishing updated salaries and benefits that align with current realities.

According to Lado, “The new Act “prescribes salaries, allowances, etc., for Judicial Officers to reflect the changing realities and consequentially amend the provisions of the Certain Political, Public and Judicial Office Holders (Salaries and Allowances, etc.), Act, No.6, 2002 (as amended) to delete the provisions relating to Judicial Office Holders.

“The prescription of salaries, allowances, and other benefits for Judicial Officers.”

Lado hailed the signing as a significant achievement, reiterating President Tinubu’s dedication to improving the conditions of Nigeria’s workforce, particularly those in vital roles within the judiciary.
