The Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami, SAN, has said that
judges and other judicial officers across the country will soon be getting good
pay and welfare packages.
Malami made this known during an interview with newsmen at
the Sokoto State High Court of Justice Complex on Monday, NAN reports.
He said the Presidential mandate given as regards the
welfare of judicial officers resulted in the setting up of the committee on the
Review of Judicial Salaries and Conditions of Service.
“As you all know, to sustain democracy through effective
administration of Justice, Judges as the defenders of social justice and Lords
of our judicial realm, as well as other judicial staff, must be adequately
taken care of.
“This of course is by way of enhanced emoluments and welfare
packages, to enable them dispense justice at all times without fear or favour,
in an independent manner’’.
“As the Judiciary remains a strong catalyst to our
modern-day democracy, great efforts towards the protection of our democratic
principles become the bedrocks for sustainable democracy.
“I look forward with passion to an independent and
autonomous Sokoto State Judiciary for a greater attainment of democratic
principles and for the effective and efficient administration of justice in
Sokoto State, and in Nigeria at large”, he said.
