Ensure Financial Autonomy of Judiciary, CJN Tells Govs

The Chief Justice of Nigeria , Justice Ibrahim Tanko Muhammad, has called on state governors to respect the constitutional provision of the independence of the judiciary by ensuring its financial autonomy.

Muhammad, represented by the Supreme Court Judge, Justice Uwani Musa Abba-Aji, said Nigeria remained the only country with the highest number of litigations per judge and judges work long hours manually thereby imposing dangers on their health, welfare and lifestyles, hence the call for judicial autonomy.

He, however, lauded the Katsina State government for building the healthcare centre for judiciary officers and staff, describing it as the first ever health facility in the history of the judiciary in Nigeria.
