JUSUN strike is court workers’ best moment, says Umeadi

of the Nigerian Bar Association Dr. Olisa Agbakoba for their efforts in the fight for judicial autonomy.

“I have been constant and continue in the expression of my faith and appreciation to the contribution of the Judiciary staff. He reasoned that people seemed to be taking judiciary workers for granted “because these facts happen daily we tend to take them for granted.“But I consider them heroic deeds. The best moment of the Judiciary staff seems to have arrived. They filed a suit for financial autonomy for the State Judiciaries pursuant to Section 121 of the Constitution of Nigeria 1999 and Judgement was given in their favour.

Umeadi said: “I doubt if that is the case. Rather the JUSUN with their meagre salaries are the ones who went to court and won financial autonomy for the courts which the Governors neither implemented nor appealed against. The senior lawyers who earn fees from court appearances were nowhere to be found.

“They would be tried accordingly to law and if found guilty would suffer the penalty for their offence. The same would apply to all and sundry. Nobody is above the law. It is with this mindset that we need to support financial autonomy on the basis of separation of powers, to strengthen the rule of law as a corner stone for the development of our country Nigeria. On this subject the JUSUN are the undisputed heroes.

Visibly, its not in the Best interest of Nigerians. Many awaiting trials are stalled, many trying individuals awaiting Freedom are languishing in detentions, many legal matters with potentials of justice are equally stalled.
