Hypothesis-building is generally believed to be reserved for academic research projects. Researchers are required to, first of all, reflect on critical questions or problematic, then come up with observations and thrusts that are to be tested in light of further empirical investigations and exegesis. Thus, like German Foundations and other types of cornerstones are required in solid building constructions, so is hypothesis required in building theories in various social science disciplines. Grosso modo, hypothesis is the first stage of research reflections, after collation of data and preliminary study. The ultimate in the continuum of research processes is the theory, the final outcome of research finding, which, under normal situations, should guide political governance. It is not hypothesis, to begin with, that should be the foundation of or drive public governance.

The legal body regretted that the closure of courts across the country has not only debased the country’s democracy but has adversely affected the fortunes of the legal practitioners, urging the governors to swiftly accede to the request of the Judiciary Staff Union of Nigeria (JUSUN) to resolve the conundrum.
