Courts across the country on Tuesday were shut while judicial activities were paralysed following the strike by members of the Judiciary Staff Union of Nigeria.
Federal and state high courts, Courts of Appeal and Supreme Courts in the land were not allowed to operate as JUSUN members vowed to sustain the industrial action until governments act on their demands.
Among others, the judiciary workers were protesting against the refusal by the state government to implement the Executive Order 10 on financial autonomy.
The Executive Order 10 which granted financial autonomy to the legislature and judiciary across the 36 states of the country was signed by the President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari in May 2018
