in Abuja on Friday ordered a substantial increment in the salaries of the Chief Justice of Nigeria and other Nigerian judges.

“It is unconstitutional and unlawful for the RMAFC to refuse to review the salaries of judges,” the judge, Mrs Obaseki-Osaghae, held before granting all the claimant’s prayers in her judgement on Friday. The judge also ordered the RMAFC to review the salaries of other heads of courts and their judges ranging between N9 million to N7 million monthly.PREMIUM TIMES reported that Mr Hon had filed the suit seeking an order of the National Industrial Court of Nigeria compelling the defendants – the AGF, National Judicial Council , the National Assembly and the RMAFC – to increase the salaries and allowances of judges in the country.

He argued that the current economic reality in the country requires that the salaries and allowances of the nation’s judges be urgently improved upon.

Comedy😂😂💔

😂 😂 😂 😂 Imaging if you have the power to just increase your salary.

The judge that presided over this case will benefit from the increase. 😂 And i pity the lawyer that handled the defendant’s case.

Which court? ECOWAS Court?

The system we operate is highly skewed against civil servants that work hard for nothing less than 8hrs daily. For me the judge very is lenient, she should have used multiples the value of the Naira from then till today to deliver her judgement to recommend 17m per annum.

Sebatine Hon (SAN)

When will court order my own salary increment?

Lol

Kikikikiki just laughed in suwahili now joor 🤣 anyway welcome to animals kingdom. Lazy citizens everywhere you go 🇳🇬

From 3.4m to 10M in a country that is broke according to them abi, comparing them with other developed countries when it's comes to the minimum wage you won't compare them. They should just review the minimum wage to 100K abeg. Akpa Judge

Well we live in a lawless society that the judiciary is not adjudicating on matters outside their jurisdiction

You and the court that make such pronouncement are mad 😡

Ha! Which kind thing…. JUSUN nko?

Nemo Judex in causa sua

Lmao! This is literally to be a judge in your own case.
