President Bola Tinubu has asked the National Assembly to consider and pass a new bill seeking to provide new salaries and allowances for judiciary officers in the country.
In a letter read at plenary by the Speaker House of Representatives, Dr. Tajudeen Abbas, the President said the bill seeks to prescribe salaries and allowances, as well as other fringe benefit for the officers.
According to the President, the proposed upward review of the salaries is aimed at ending the prolonged stagnation in the remuneration of judicial officers and to reflect contemporary socioeconomic realities.
The Executive bill forwarded by the President is titled “A Bill for an act to prescribe the salaries, allowances and fringe benefits of Judicial Office Holders in Nigeria and for Related Matters”.
