In a revealing commentary, social commentator Deji Adeyanju has highlighted what he perceives to be an imbalance in Nigeria’s remuneration system, especially concerning the judiciary. Drawing attention to the hefty salary of Bashir Ahmad, a former aide to ex-President Buhari, Adeyanju suggested that such disparities could undermine the integrity of judicial officers.

Adeyanju’s statement came after the public got wind of the enormous monthly paycheck, which surpassed two million Naira, pocketed by Ahmad during his tenure under the Buhari administration. “We pay political aides more than Supreme Court justices, and yet we expect judges at the High Court, Court of Appeal, and other courts not to compromise,” Adeyanju remarked.
Highlighting the gulf between the earnings of a presidential aide and that of a Supreme Court justice, Adeyanju opined, “Bashir Ahmed earned more than Supreme Court justices over the past 8 years under Buhari’s administration. As a nation, we must strive for better.” CONTINUE READING
The commentary has since ignited a flurry of reactions online:
Tunde Adebayo, a Lagos-based lawyer tweeted, “It’s a shame that those responsible for meting out justice are so undervalued. No wonder we see allegations of bribery and compromise in our judicial system.”
Chinasa Obi, a political analyst, opined, “While the pay scale needs revision, I believe that true integrity is independent of one’s salary. Nevertheless, Adeyanju has a point, and it needs to be addressed.”
Opeyemi Idris, a civil servant, questioned, “How can someone who merely advises a politician earn more than a justice who holds the scales of justice in his hands?”
Mariam Adeola, another netizen, took a different approach: “It’s not just about salaries. We need to look at the entire system. How much do we value justice in this country?”
Adeyanju’s assertions serve as a reminder of the systemic issues facing Nigeria’s judiciary. While the comments are sure to spark further debates, they ultimately underscore the broader question about the nation’s priorities and its value system.
