“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.
He said that the review also applied to the chairman and two members that constituted each of the 153 customary courts in the state, in which the salaries of the chairmen were moved from N42,989.76 to N92,989.76.
