Succor seems imminent for thousands of unpaid court workers in Kogi State as the National Industrial Court of Nigerian in Abuja has ordered Governor Yahaya Bello and others to release forthwith funds due to the state’s judiciary, which were withheld since July 2018.
The judgment is on a suit filed by the Judiciary Staff Union of Nigeria against the Kogi State governor and eight others. The plaintiff said its members in Kogi State have not been paid since July 2018, owing to the failure of the state government to release funds due to the judiciary from the Consolidated Revenue Funds of the state, from which salaries and other payments are made to court workers.
Justice Agbakoba held that the first to fifth lacked the power to withhold court workers’ salaries and other entitlements which are payable from any amount standing to the credit of the Kogi State Judiciary in the Consolidated Revenue Fund of the state.
