The fierce legal battle against the Attorney-General of the Federation (AGF), National Judicial Council (NJC) and the National Assembly (NASS) over poor wages being paid to Nigerian Judges is to kick start at the National Industrial Court on June 6.
A notice of hearing just sighted by Daily Post indicated that the suit would be heard at Court two of the National Industrial Court, Area 3, Abuja.
