‘In 2008, what Judges earned was the equivalent of about $4,200 monthly. If we were to convert $4,200 to Naira today, it would be in the region of N4 million. At N4 million which looks like a 600% or so increase in today’s salaries, Judges would still be earning the same as they did in 2008!’ – Chief Judge of Borno State, Hon. Justice Kashim Zannah
