Some Senior Advocates of Nigeria have backed the judgment by an Industrial Court in Abuja on Friday, which asked the National Assembly, the Revenue Mobilisation Allocation and Fiscal Commission and the Attorney General of the Federation to urgently initiate measures to ensure the upward review of the salaries and allowances of judges in the country.

Justice Osatohanmwen Obaseki-Osaghae, who issued the order, held that the current salaries and allowances of judicial officers in the country were not only abysmally low but embarrassing.

She ordered the Federal Government to commence a monthly payment of N10m to the Chief Justice of Nigeria, N9m to other Justices of the Supreme Court, and N9m to the President of the Court of Appeal. The judge held that the refusal of the government to review the judicial officers’ salaries and allowances for 14 years was unconstitutional, unlawful and should be compelled to do the needful.

Reacting to this judgment, Mr Ebun Adegboruwa, SAN, said the N10m salary for the CJN was ‘peanut’ and should have been reviewed even higher.
