President Bola Tinubu has signed into law a bill seeking a 300% increase in salaries and allowances for judicial officials.
This is according to a statement by the Special Adviser to the President on Senate Matters Basheer Lado. He said the development underscores Tinubu’s commitment to the welfare of Nigerian workers above all else.
The aide said the new Act prescribes salaries, allowances, 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, Act, No.6, 2002 as amended to delete the provisions relating to Judicial Office Holders.
Lado said, In a demonstration of his visionary leadership and deep compassion for the Nigerian people, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has once again affirmed his unwavering commitment to the welfare of the nation’s workforce by assenting to the revised Salaries and Allowances for Judicial Office Holders.
The Senate had in June approved the bill after it passed a third reading. That move, Lado said is an expression of their patriotic commitment to progressively improving the welfare of Nigerians.
