The Nigerian Presidency has debunked a report claiming President Bola Tinubu approved a salary increase for political office holders and judicial officers. The Special Adviser on Special Duties, Communication and Strategy to the President, Dele Alake, stated that President Tinubu has not approved any salary increase and no such proposal has been brought before him for consideration. The Revenue Mobilisation, Allocation and Fiscal Commission (RMAFC) is responsible for proposing and fixing salaries and allowances of political office holders and judicial officers, but such cannot come to effect until it has been equally considered and approved by the President. The RMAFC has responded to the fake story and set the record straight. Senior adviser Sebastine Hon has filed a suit against the Attorney General of the Federation (AGF), National Judicial Council (NJC), and National Assembly (NASS) over poor wages being paid to judges.
