The Civil Rights Realisation and Advancement Network, CRRAN, has described the refusal of the 36 governors in Nigeria to fund the Judiciary arm of government as a treasonable act and an assault on the country’s constitution.
The Judiciary Staff Union of Nigeria, JUSUN, had since April 6, 2021, left the courts in Nigeria under lock and key because of the non-implementation of financial autonomy for the judiciary as the third arm of government.
The union had alleged that the Federal and State governments had over the years, declined to grant financial autonomy to the judiciary.
Reacting to the development in its human rights update, President of CRRAN, Mr. Olu Omotayo said that the strike should not just be seen as a mere strike of court workers in Nigeria, but should be critically looked at from the point of the insistence by respective state governors that the Judiciary should never be independent.

The union had alleged that the Federal and State governments had over the years, declined to grant financial autonomy to the judiciary.
The Nigerian Bar Association (NBA) has directed its branch chairmen nationwide to lead “visits” to government houses in their states over the 36 governors’ alleged unwillingness to implement judiciary’s financial autonomy.
NBA President, Olumide Akpata, directed the branch chairmen to lead the “visits”, more like peaceful protests from Monday, April 19, and on all other subsequent Mondays until the demand for the judiciary’s financial autonomy is met.
It urged the branch leaders “to effectively mobilise their members” for the “visit to the governors at the state government houses” to press home the demand.
The association said, during the visits, the branch leaders should “present a joint written demand to their state governors requesting full compliance with existing legislative instruments and court judgments on the financial autonomy of the judiciary.”
