President Muhammadu Buhari said on Thursday his government would work toward improving the welfare of judges in Nigeria, IgbereTV reports
The president, according to a statement issued by his Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity, Garba Shehu, gave the assurance when the Body of Benchers, a body of legal practitioners, visited him at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.
He said the unbefitting welfare and working conditions in the nation’s judiciary are “serious and would be treated as such.”
He, however, stressed that the government would act within the limits of its resources considering the dire state of the country’s economy.
The president promised to act quickly on the report of the committee he set up to review the welfare and working conditions of the judiciary in 2018
