Constitutional amendment in 2024 raised judicial-officer salaries (first major review since 2007). Election tribunals criticised in 2023 cycle for procedural inconsistency; calls for tribunal-process reform from across the political spectrum.
In Tinubu's words“A judiciary that is fairly remunerated is a judiciary that cannot be bought.”
Presidential remarks on judicial salaries review, 2024.
Policy position
Maintain federal-state judicial-bifurcation framework. Modest electoral-act amendments rather than wholesale tribunal redesign. Investment in court-digitisation pilots (FCT High Court, Lagos State Judiciary).
