President Bola Tinubu has signed the Judicial Office Holders Salaries and Allowances Bill into law, granting a 300% salary increase for judicial officers at the federal and state levels.
Senator Basheer Lado, the Special Adviser to the President on Senate Matters, disclosed this in a statement in Abuja on Tuesday.
The new Act prescribes salaries, allowances, and other benefits for Judicial Officers, reflecting changing realities and amending the provisions of the Certain Political, Public, and Judicial Office Holders (Salaries and Allowances, etc.), Act, No.6, 2002 (as amended).
Lado hailed the president’s signing of the bill as a landmark achievement and a testament to his unwavering dedication to improving conditions for Nigeria’s workforce.
He praised Senate President Godswill Akpabio, Speaker Rt. Hon. Abass Tajudeen, and the 10th National Assembly for their role in passing the bill and urged Judicial Office Holders to strengthen their efforts in delivering swift justice.
“The judiciary remains the hope of the common man, and it is hoped that Nigerians seeking justice get it irrespective of their status in life,” he added.
