On Monday, state governors agreed to accede to the demand for judiciary autonomy being championed by the Judiciary Staff Union of Nigeria, JUSUN, who have locked and grounded activities in courts across the country for the 14th day running.
The state governors, through Nigerian Governors’ Forum Chairman, and Governor of Ekiti State, Dr Kayode Fayemi, on Monday, at a meeting with representatives of both the judiciary and legislature to harmonise their position in the office of the Chief of Staff to the President, Professor Ibrahim Gambari at the Presidential Villa, Abuja, said all parties had reached an agreement on the way forward.
