EKITI STATE BRANCH OF THE NBA LAMENTS  LACK OF FINANCIAL AUTONOMY FOR THE JUDICIARY

The Nigeria Bar Association (NBA), Ado Ekiti Branch, has lamented the lack of financial autonomy for the judiciary in the state despite strikes embarked upon by the Judiciary Staff Union of Nigeria, JUSUN.  The union also said it was wrong for the executive to be the appointing authority for the judges and magistrates as the practice had continued to undermine the independence of the judiciary.

The branch Chairman, Adeyemi Adewumi, made the remarks in Ado Ekiti, yesterday, at the commencement of the Law Week 2022. He said, in the state, when the NJC recommended judges for appointments and the executive stopped it,  it takes the coming of another government and NBA’s intervention to get it done.
