Tinubu to increase judges’ salaries amid election cases in court

President Bola Tinubu has assured his administration’s commitment to concluding a thorough review of the remuneration of judicial officers in the country.

The president said this while receiving the leadership of the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA), led by Barrister Yakubu Maikyau (SAN), at the State House in Abuja on Thursday, August 25.

He said the battle against corruption necessitates a comprehensive review of the salaries and allowances of judicial officers, an issue that is well known to him, given his landmark success in reforming justice administration in Lagos State.

Ajuri Ngelale, special adviser to the president on media and publicity, in a statement on Friday quoted the president as saying: “We must deal with the review of remuneration if we truly want to fight corr¥ption in the Judiciary. We will look at the cost, as well as the consequences.”
