Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>The just retired Supreme Court Justice, Musa Dattijo Muhammad, has lamented the poor salary structure of Justices in Nigeria.<\/p>\n

Muhammad, on Friday in Abuja at a valedictory court session held in his honour, disclosed that the Chief Registrar of the Supreme Court earns more than the Justices.<\/p>\n

According to him, the monthly salary of the apex court registrar stood at N1.2 million while Justices get N751,000, representing a 37.4 per cent disparity.<\/p>\n

He said that the Chief Justice of Nigeria, Olukayode Ariwoola, is receiving only N400,000 plus monthly salary, which is 66.7 per cent less when compared to the N1.2 million monthly take-home of the Supreme Court Registrar.<\/p>\n

He decried why Justices\u2019 salaries decreased despite added responsibility.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt may interest one to know that the Chief Registrar of the Supreme Court earns more than the Justices. While she earns N1.2m per month, justices take home N751,000 monthly.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe CJN, on his part, takes home N400,000 plus. The salary of a Justice, curiously, drops rather than increases when he gets the added responsibility of being a CJN.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat the unjust and embarrassing salary difference between the justices and the Chief Registrar still abides remains intriguing, to say the least,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
