This is very important and he has done well, not only for the judiciary but for the entire nation.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMr. President, by the nature of the judicial officers, they don\u2019t agitate. They cry in silence, and they don\u2019t speak out. Other workers agitate, and they stage protests. But the judiciary doesn\u2019t talk; they cry in silence.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNow, the president of the country has spoken for them. What he did is something laudable and we are applauding him here. Because a country that didn\u2019t take its judiciary in a very important passion is doomed.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd when you want to take the judiciary seriously, you have to take the remuneration of the judiciary staff seriously. That is very important, and that is what he has done. They have stagnated for several years.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat the president has done should be supported and we will give him more support to continue to work on this kind of trajectory for the development of the nation. So, Mr. President, I joined you and other colleagues to commend President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Senator Mohammed Monguno (APC \u2013 Borno North) Monguno, said improving the welfare of judges will insulate them from corruption and ensure they deliver just and fair judgments.<\/p>\n<p>On his part, Senator Orji Uzor Kalu (APC-Abia North), said: \u201cNo right-thinking Nigerian will not think that it is right to keep the judiciary comfortable. I want to thank the executive for deeming it fit to increase the salaries of judges at all levels.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Senators later approved that the bill be read for a second time when it was put to voice vote by Akpabio.<\/p>\n<p>Akpabio thereafter referred the Bill to the Committee on Judiciary, Human Rights, and Legal Matters for further legislative input and to report back in four weeks.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The bill was sponsored by the deputy majority leader of the Senate Senator Ashiru Yisa A Bill which seeks to increase the salaries and allowances of judicial officers on Thursday, May 9, scaled second reading at the Senate.
