Governor Nyesom WikeBy Egufe Yafugborhi, Port-HarcourtGovernor Nyesom Wike on Thursday disclosed that a ‘no work, no pay’ order was now in force in Rivers state over protesting judicial workers whose continued strike has grounded the state’s judiciary as it is happening across the country.
Wike, handing over Rivers State Government built Residential Quarters for the National Industrial Court Judges in Port Harcourt, questioned the constitutionality of the manner of ‘judiciary autonomy’ being promoted by the Federal Government (FG).
He wondered, “If FG wants autonomy of the judiciary, how can such a government say the courts should be shut down for almost two months now? Which country can survive when it’s courts are shut down for two months?”

JUSUN rejects governors’ proposal, gives condition to end strike
JUSUN says its demand for payment of funds meant for the judiciary directly from the federation account must be met for it to call off the strike. 5 min read
The striking Judiciary Staff Union of Nigeria (JUSUN) has rejected the 36 state governors’ proposed template for the implementation of judiciary’s financial autonomy being demanded by the workers.
The governors, in their proposal, seek the creation of a State Account Allocation Committee (SAAC) to oversee the distribution of funds to the three arms of government at the state level.
But in a communique the union issued after a May 8 meeting of its National Working Committee (NWC), the union insisted on its demand that funds meant for the state judiciaries must be deducted directly from the federation account and paid to the heads of courts through the National Judicial Council (NJC).
