The AG reiterated that he will use his office to ensure that all issues affecting the magistrates would be attended to in a gradual manner.
The assurance followed a call by the stakeholders for an improved welfare package for the magistrates in the state.
In his remarks, the Chief Judge of Kaduna State, Justice Muhammed Tukur Aliyu also assured the Magistrates of a good working condition.
While giving the assurance during the association’s annual general meeting in Kaduna on Wednesday, the AG said: “I want to assure you that we will continue to collaborate with you and share in whatever affects you. We are in office because we have the capacity to ensure that things are done the right way, and not because we campaign for it”
Meanwhile, in his paper presentation, the former NBA Chairman, Kaduna Branch, Muhammed Tajudeen Muhammed explained that Kaduna State is the least paying State, just as he said that Chief Magistrate in Lagos State takes home about 540, 000.00 monthly whereas a Chief Magistrate in Kaduna State whose monthly take home is nothing close to that had his monthly take home slashed by the last administration.
“From information available to me, Magistrates have always had it bad in Kaduna State since its inception. Magistrates were earning about 5, 000 naira in the 80s. That was barely sufficient to sustain an average family.
“The situation was the worst for the Magistrates under the last administration. Magistrates were not treated with the dignity they deserve by the last administration. Thank God, our amiable Governor of Kaduna State, Senator Uba Sani is not only willing, but has been rolling back and discarding hurtful and inhuman policies of the last administration.
“Only in Kaduna State will you see a level 10 Magistrate earn about 80, 000.00 naira. This is one of the wicked legacies left behind by the last administration which must not be sustained,” he said.
The former NBA Chairman opined that Kaduna State Government should ensure that the least paid Magistrate gets 200, 000.00 naira as monthly take home in the state.
Earlier, in his opening remarks, the Chairman of the Magistrate Association of Nigeria, His lordship, Benjamin Hassan thanked Governor Uba Sani for being a listening leader with the passion to right the wrong.
“The Magistracy has undergone tremendous change over the years, most especially during the post covid with the rise of artificial intelligence and economic challenges, the magistrate is faced with novel situations,” he said.
