He said the battle against corruption necessitates a comprehensive review of the salaries and allowances of judicial officers, an issue that is well known to him, given his landmark success in reforming justice administration in Lagos State.
Ajuri Ngelale, special adviser to the president on media and publicity, in a statement on Friday quoted the president as saying: “We must deal with the review of remuneration if we truly want to fight corruption in the Judiciary. We will look at the cost, as well as the consequences.”
