Supreme Court reverses N1.07bn award to ex-Kogi Deputy Gov, Simon Achuba

The Supreme Court set aside the Court of Appeal's decision that awarded Simon Achuba over N1.07 billion for unpaid salaries and allowances. The court ruled that the Court of Appeal exceeded its jurisdiction by calculating and awarding specific sums instead of remitting the matter to the National Industrial Court for proper determination. The judgment clarified that a post-judgment motion could not substitute for substantive proceedings involving disputed monetary claims.
