President of the Court of Appeal, Justice Monica Dongban-Mensem, has revealed the poor salaries of judicial officers in the country.

She made the startling revelation while speaking at the opening of the 2021/22 legal year.

She said the Chief Justice of Nigeria (CJN), who is the head of the judiciary in Nigeria, as at today takes home N279, 497 as monthly salary, an equivalent of $680.

Other justices on the Supreme Court bench go home with the sum of N206,425 or $502.

She said as President of the Court of Appeal, she receives the sum of N206,425 or $502.

Other justices on the bench of the Court of Appeal, go home with N166,285 or $404 every month.

Dongban-Mensem said the salaries of judicial officers has stagnated for over 10 years.

She pleaded with the federal government for an immediate upward review of the salaries.

She said the salary structure for judicial officers and staff in Nigeria have consistently ranked poorly when compared to that of their counterparts in other African and Commonwealth countries.

Justice Dongban-Mensem said the last time salaries of judicial officers were reviewed in Nigeria was in 2008, when the upward review was made to take effect on February 1, 2007.

She therefore called on the federal and state governments to live up to their obligations under the implementation of financial autonomy of state legislature and the state judiciary order, 2020, known as Executive Order 10.

“I implore the government of the federation and states to urgently review the salaries and allowances of judicial officers and staff.

“The salaries of justices are static with no graduation as in the civil and public service.

“We have been on one salary grade for over 10 years now.

“May I also call on the government to increase financial allocations that will enable us to introduce technical innovations that would improve adjudication”, she said.

The attorney-general of the federation, Mr Abubakar Malami, SAN, appealed to the appellate court justices to maintain the sanctity and credibility of the court.

He also appealed to them to ensure that the sacred integrity reposed in them remain un-shaking at all times to foster and promote public confidence in all their judgements.

He assured that the administration of President Muhammadu Buhari, will review the welfare of judicial officers generally to ensure greater efficiency.

When did Buhari became The DG National Wages Commission ?

So surprised to hear that those destroyers of justice are even paid.

Paying malami, for doing what exactly?

How much are health workers collecting?
How much are security operatives collecting?

Those are essential workers

Dem don send this batteryless radio make she come yarn nonsense.

Mah hear say those looters no dey siphon reach ₦4m monthly.

In any society that understands values, teachers would be the best paid cadre of workers. They put in so much and mould any society. The quality of any society is determined by the quality of its teaching force. That's why teachers from nursery, primary, secondary to higher education sectors ought to be prioritized in welfare and training packages.

How is that Buhari's problem?

Like the national assembly, the Judiciary have their own budget and autonomy.

How is that Buhari's problem?

Like the national assembly, the Judiciary have their own budget and autonomy.

The judiciary has autonomy and buharri sent the army to beat up Onoghen and remove him from his seat?

What type of autonomy is that?

Rubbish sensational headline.

Was it Buhari that fixed their salaries or the appeal court was created by the Buhari administration.

Some criticisms are just senseless.

This headline is mischevious but will still cause saliva to drip from the lips of some miscreants. Buhari has no power to determine the wages of any public servant not even his own. That is the responsibility of the wages commission

No wonder our judges are selling judgements like akara and bread.
