Statisense, the official data provider, disclosed this information to Africa Health Report (AHR) on it’s official X on Thursday. According to the report, the updated salary system in the judiciary will lead to substantial increases for various positions.

The move has sparked mixed reactions. @_Gonii criticized the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) for calling off the strike, suggesting they should have remained steadfast until their demands were met.
@C Onyedinma expressed disbelief, stating, “This is crazy! Considering the fact that everyday workers are fighting for an increase in their meager N360k/pa minimum wage. Optics and substance matter.”
