Mbah approves salary upward review for Customary Court Judges, members

Gov. Peter Mbah of Enugu State has approved the upward review of the salaries of the 459 customary court judges of the 153 customary courts across the state.

Dr. Reuben Onyishi, the Senior Special Assistant to Mbah on New Media, disclosed this in a statement in Enugu on Monday.

Onyishi said that the review would take effect from January, in line with the N80,000 minimum wage as obtained in the state.

He said that the review was sequel to the high cost of living that compelled the increase in the national minimum wage of N70,000 and Gov. Mbah’s magnanimous increase of the minimum wage in Enugu State to N80,000.

“This also followed a memo dated Nov. 25, 2024, addressed to the Governor by the Special Adviser to the Governor on Legal Matters, Mr Osinachi Nnajieze, in response to which Mbah graciously approved the review,” Onyishi said.

“Also the salaries of the two members are increased from N39,736.18 to N89,736.18,” Onyishi said.
