LAGOS — Judicial workers, under the aegis of Judiciary
Staff Union of Nigeria, JUSUN, yesterday, shut down courts
across the country as they commenced an industrial
action.
In Abuja, the Chief Justice of Nigeria, CJN, Justice Mahmud
Mohammed, and other Justices of the Supreme Court were
locked out of their respective offices by protesting judiciary
workers, while all the courts were barricaded by the
strikers who used heavy chains and padlocks to block
entrance and exit gates to all courts.
In Lagos, the Federal High Court and National Industrial
Court as well as Lagos State High Court in all its divisions
in Ikeja, Igbosere, Ikorodu and Badagry were also shut.
At the Lagos State High Court, Igbosere, the entrances
were padlocked. Also, the Appeal Court in Lagos had its
gates padlocked. The magistrate’s court in Igbosere,
Lagos, was also under lock and key.
The Federal High Court in Ikoyi, Lagos, was also under lock
and key, including the National Industrial Court in Ikoyi.
Courts in Lagos were initially scheduled to resume
yesterday after the Christmas vacation, but JUSUN had
directed all its members to embark on the strike from
January 2.
The strike is based on the failure of state governments to
implement the orders of an Abuja Federal High Court,
which granted financial autonomy for state judiciaries.
Justice Adeniyi Ademola had on January 14, 2014, following
a suit by JUSUN, restrained the Federal Government and
the 36 state governors from holding on to funds meant for
the judiciary.
Ademola held that funds meant for the judiciary should
instead be disbursed directly to the heads of court and not
to the executive arm of government.
In Abuja, yesterday, all the Justices of the Supreme Court,
who intended to access their offices, including the CJN,
were forced to turn back as the workers, through their
National President, Mr. Adamu Marwa, maintained that they
would not bow down until the Federal Government complied
and implemented the Federal High Court judgment that
declared financial autonomy for the judiciary.
Addressing journalists yesterday, JUSUN President, Marwa,
said the office of the Accountant General of the Federation
was to be blamed for the failure of the Federal Government
to implement the court judgment.
He lamented that the union had held meetings with
representatives of the various governments 20 times since
the verdict was delivered as well as signed seven
Memoranda of Understanding, MoU.
He said: “There is no going back until they respect the
court judgment. This strike is indefinite.”www.vanguardngr.com/2015/01/strike-judicial-workers-shut-courts-nationwide/

Your work is poorly organized!

This country's never had it worse! Absolutely nothing seems to be working the way they should. Industrial actions everywhere, corruption smiling and taking selfies in front of us, impunity taking a leisurely stroll in our backyards, insecurity snatching our loved ones from us in broad day light!!

It is time for us to answer the clarion call!!

Arise O' compatriots, Nigeria's call OBEY!!!

Kick out repression from our motherland. Kick out PDP!
