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

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

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

This followed the consideration and adoption of an executive bill transmitted by the President which sought to prescribe improved salaries and allowances as well as other fringe benefits for judicial officers and workers.

The executive bill forwarded by the President was titled “A Bill for an Act to Prescribe the Salaries, Allowances and Fringe Benefits of Judicial Office Holders in Nigeria and for Related Matters”.

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.”

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.”

According to him, among the salient features of the Act include, “The prescription of salaries, allowances, and other benefits for Judicial Officers.

“The amendment of Certain Political, Public, and Judicial Office Holders (Salaries and Allowances, etc.) Act, No.6, 2002 (as amended) which provides for the deletion of provisions relating to Judicial Office Holders from the aforementioned Act.”

He described the g of the bill by the President as a landmark achievement and a manifestation of his unwavering commitment to the welfare of Nigeria’s workforce.

Lado said, “In a demonstration of his visionary leadership and deep comion for the Nigerian people, His Excellency President Bola Ahmed Tinubu GCON has once again affirmed his unwavering commitment to the welfare of the nation’s workforce by assenting to the revised Salaries and Allowances for Judicial Office Holders.

“This landmark decision reflects Mr President’s profound dedication to ensuring that every salary earner in Nigeria, especially those serving in vital and strategic roles, receives the recognition and compensation they deserve.

“By prioritizing the financial well-being of our judicial officers, Mr President is not only reinforcing the integrity of our justice system but also setting a new standard for leadership that truly values the hard work and sacrifices of all Nigerian workers.”

He added, “Under President Tinubu’s istration, the welfare of our workers has become a central pillar of national progress.

“His visionary policies continue to uplift the lives of millions, ensuring that the dignity of labour is upheld and that those who serve our nation are justly rewarded.

“This assent is a clear testament to Mr. President’s tireless efforts to build a more prosperous and equitable Nigeria, where every worker is empowered to contribute to the nation’s greatness.

“As we look to the future with hope and determination, Mr President remains steadfast in his mission to champion initiatives that deliver fair compensation, improved working conditions, and a brighter future for all Nigerians.”

Lado commended the Senate President Godswill Akpabio and Speaker of the House of Representatives, Rt. Hon. Abass Tajudeen, for their patriotic commitment to progressively improving the welfare of Nigerians.

He also lauded the of the 10th National Assembly for prioritizing the welfare of Nigerians by ing and transmitting the executive Bill which has now been promptly assented to by the President.

He urged Judicial Office Holders in the country to redouble their efforts in ensuring that justice is served and speedily so in the light of the action of the President aimed at enhancing their overall welfare and well-being.

“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 said.

The PUNCH reports that following the age of the bill, the Chief Justice of Nigeria, Justice Olukayode Ariwoola, had an annual salary of N64m.

The President of the Court of Appeal will be entitled to N62.4m, while Justices of the Supreme Court will earn the sum of N61.4m each.

All heads of the various courts, such as the Chief Judge of the Federal High Court, Chief Judge of the Federal Capital Territory High Court the President of the National Industrial Court, among others, would earn the same basic salary of N7.9m annually.

Just when we thought this weyrey has ended his madness, another banger

He keeps waxing strong in proving us right that he has absolutely nothing to offer and yet, his minions would keep defending him.

Pay back time

All sectors should have salary rise at the same time. No sector is more important than the other.

Tinubu the master strategist and a real politician by practices infact Tinubu has PhD in politics and he will continue to teach the Igbos politics from time to time.


We are all feeling his good policies and the one that is not favouring you doesn't mean it's a bad policies either.

Don't forget the subsidy he removed that caused all the inflation's are same subsidy Johnathan want to remove even Buhari want to remove it too so meaning logically the SUBSIDY is a real setback for the nation...


Many Nigerians still get mind to protest bad governace..

Let me educate you
Do u know landing price of petrol is 1200?

⏩ But yet NNPC sells at 550?
Who is paying the rest 🤔

During Buhari landing price of fuel is around 500+ but we buy fuel at 250 then meaning they pay 250 as subsidy per liter we buy..


But now some micrant will still open mouth to say Tinubu is this and that 🤔

I want to tell you the fact today that THANK God he removed the subsidy with 50% else Nigeria would have sinked by now ..

DONT FORGET PETROL IS A GLOBAL MARKET SO EVEN THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT don't have control over it ..

Our oil production is around 1.2m and our populations is over 300m 🤔

⏩ because some people will still want to say with all the resources we have 🤔

Can 1.2m feed 300m people 🤔

Buhari once said our youth are lazy because we don't or not keen to learn the cause for problems and benefit 🤔

Am not a millionaire and I don't have 100k in my bank but yet for us to develop like other developed nations some certain steps has to be taken ..

DONT FORGET THE SO CALLED PEOPLE CHANTING ENDBAD GOVERNMENT are also the people in of subsidy removal then that it's a scam this and that but they don't know this is the consequences 🤔

But was a tug of war to increase civil servants by a hundred percent.

Nigeria with double standards be like bread and butter.

But o, in all these increment, who cares about the unemployed, the jobless and the man/woman without a means of livelihood?

I think Russia should just take over this country ASAP

Like seriously tinubu is a mad man.. just when you thought the protest will do anything he shows that he don't care.

They know what they are doing.


Same old trick.
He did similar thing as a governor. The villain-looking Wike "the wicked copycat" copied it and commended him for creating this template.

Let's see the judicial officers/judges that won't dance to their tune or dictates.

Same old trick.

Great judges deserve their salaries BUT it is what it is, whatever corrupt politicians can't corrupt almost never exist

What about doctors?

How do we get to this point. The elite and the rich keep getting richer while they continue to impoverish the poor. God will judge all of you.

So that they can rigged judgement in his favor like before

For Tinubu, everything is about 'paying back'. He's paying back those who helped with his self-imposition agenda.
