The 36 states of the federation filed a lawsuit against the Buhari administration on Monday, seeking to halt a new executive order that strips the federal government of the responsibility of funding courts.
But the states said in the lawsuit that the federal government is forcing its responsibility of funding both the capital and recurrent expenditures of the state high courts, Sharia Court of Appeal, and the Customary Court of Appeal, on the state governments. This, they argued, is a clear violation of Sections 6 and 8 of 1999 Constitution, which make funding of the listed courts a responsibility of the federal government.
“It is based on the power vested in him as the president under “Section 5 of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria 1999 , which extends to the execution and maintenance of the Constitution, laws made by the National Assembly of the 1999 Constitution , which guarantee financial autonomy of the State,” Mr Malami said.
