Près.Tinubu signs Judicial Office Holders Salaries and Allowances Bill into law.

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

Senator Basheer Lado, the Special Adviser to the President on Senate Matters, disclosed this in a statement in Abuja on Tuesday.

Recall that in March, Present Tinubu sent a bill titled: ‘A Bill for an Act to prescribe the salaries, allowances and fringe benefits of judicial office holders in Nigeria and for related matters’ seeking to amend the salaries of judicial officers to the House of Representatives for consideration.

It was that in June, the National Assembly approved a bill that grants a 300 per cent salary increase for judicial officers at the federal and state levels. 

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