Good times are beckoning for Judicial Officers in the Country as President Bola Tinubu has submitted a proposal to the Senate to review their salaries and allowances.
This is contained in a letter addressed to President of the Senate, Godswill Akpiabio which explained that the bill sought to prescribe salaries and allowances and fringe benefits for judicial officials to end the prolonged stagnation in their remuneration and to reflect contemporary socioeconomic realities.

“While I hope that the judicial office holders salaries and allowances bill 2024 will be carefully, yet expeditiously considered and passed by the senate, please accept distinguished Senate president and distinguished senators, the assurances of my highest esteem,” he said.
