The Chairman, Magistrates
Association of Nigeria, Nasarawa
State Chapter, Mr Victor Manga
has called on the state
government to improve the
salaries of Judicial workers in the
state.
The chairman, who made the call
on Friday in Lafia during the end
of year meeting of the association,
said that improved salaries would
help in quick dispensation of
justice.
“If judicial staff especially judges
are well paid, it will go a long way
in changing their orientation
especially in accepting gift or bribe
to influence judgement,” he said.
Manga said most criminal cases in
the state were handled by
magistrates hence the need to take
care of their welfare for better
service delivery.
He, therefore, appealed to the state
Chief Judge and the state
government to urgently look into
the request.
In a remark, the Chief Judge of the
state, Justice Umaru Dikko
commended the magistrates for
their dedication to duty and
promised to urgently address their
complaint.
Dikko, however, warned them
against any act capable of
undermining their integrity in the
course of their duties, saying that
anyone caught would face the
wrath of the law.
