The Nation Newspaper Address decay in the judiciary, Reps committee urges Tinubu
In a statement on Friday, March 22, in Abuja, Oke, who represents Obokun/Oriade Federal Constituency of Osun state, applauded the president for taking steps to address the welfare of judges in the country through the Judges’ salaries and allowances bill.
When the bill is signed into law, the Chief Justice of Nigeria, Justices of the Supreme Court, President of the Court of Appeal and other categories of judicial officers will be entitled to improve monthly salaries as well as regular and non-regular allowances. “The last time the salaries of judicial officers were reviewed was in 2007. So, we are glad that Mr President, the Speaker, and the Attorney General have heeded our plea and approved new salaries and allowances for them.“With this, the nation can be assured of improved dispensation of justice because the welfare of the judicial workforce cannot be dismissed,” the statement read in part.
“The Court of Appeal is struggling with the management of off-season elections petitions. Tribunals have 20 cases currently ongoing and the judiciary itself does not have adequate manpower. They can’t recruit if they don’t have enough resources to pay them. So, we plead with our beloved President to look at this too”
