Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>The Attorney General and Minister of Justice, Lateef Fagbemi, has confirmed that the Federal Government has begun the implementation of the 300 per cent pay hike for judicial officers.<\/p>\n

Fagbemi made this confirmation on Monday at the 12th convocation ceremony of the Afe Babalola University, Ado-Ekiti, ABUAD, in Ekiti State.<\/p>\n

He described the move as an important first step in the President Bola Tinubu administration\u2019s resolve to strengthen the judiciary.<\/p>\n

According to him, one ongoing concern before he took over the mantle of judicial leadership was the poor remuneration of officers.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am again pleased to report that a major intervention of the Tinubu administration in the judiciary is the recent 300 per cent upward review of the remuneration of judicial officers in Nigeria across board. To be true, I can confirm that the implementation of this has begun in earnest,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

President Tinubu had in August signed into law a bill seeking a 300 per cent increase in salaries and allowances for judicial officials.<\/p>\n

Fagbemi\u2019s comment came after the Supreme Court recently ruled in favour of local government autonomy in what many have described as a watershed in the nation\u2019s democratic journey.<\/p>\n

Earlier in the year, Fagbemi had sued the 36 state governors over alleged mismanagement of local government funds.<\/p>\n

Months later, the apex court ruled that it was illegal for states to hold local government funds.<\/p>\n

Before the verdict, local government funds were paid into a joint account managed by state governments and on behalf of LGAs in their domains.<\/p>\n
