The Attorney-General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami (SAN), on Monday, said improvement in the remuneration and conditions of service of judicial officers would remain uppermost on the agenda of President Muhammadu Buhari.

Malami (SAN), according to a statement by his Special Assistant (Media and Public Relations), Dr. Umar Gwandu, made the commitment in his address at the 2022 Court of Appeal Annual Legal year.

He said, “I wish to recall that one of the cardinal issues raised by the President of the Court of Appeal in Her Lordship’s address last year was the issue of the welfare of our meticulous and committed judicial officers.

“The government of the day is not oblivious of this persistent challenge. Amidst our revenue challenges as a nation, coupled with various demands for a wage increase, one certain assurance I can make to this noble gathering is that the improvement of the remuneration and conditions of service of our judicial officers is uppermost on the agenda of President Muhammadu Buhari.”

The minister said the ongoing process of improving the welfare package of the judicial officers would be completed in accordance with extant constitutional and statutory provisions.
