Tinubu Approves 300% Salary, Allowance Increase For Judicial Officers In Landmark Legislation

In a major boost for the judiciary, President Tinubu has enacted a Bill raising salaries for judicial officers by 300%

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

The approval granted a 300 percent salary increase for judicial officers at the federal and state levels.

Special Adviser to the President on Senate Matters, Senator Basheer Lado, disclosed the signing of the Bill into law in a statement in Abuja, on Tuesday.

Lado said, “This extraordinary move underscores Mr. President’s absolute prioritisation of the welfare of Nigerian workers above all else just like he did when he recently put on hold an ongoing Federal Executive Council (FEC) meeting to assent to the new National Minimum Wage Bill of N70,000.”

Lado, said 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.”
