The President of the Court of Appeal, Justice Monica Dongban-Mensem has decried the poor salary structure of Nigerian Judges with a call on the Federal government to urgently review it.

The Appeal Court President revealed that she receives the sum of N206,425, while other justices on the bench of the Court of Appeal go home with N166,285 every month.
