The Ado-Ekiti branch of the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA) insists that the 36 state governors must respect the provisions of the 1999 Constitution on the contending issue of full autonomy for the Judiciary.
The body regretted that the closure of courts across the country had not only debased the country’s democracy, but negatively affected the fortunes of the legal practitioners, urging the governors to swiftly accede to the request of the Judiciary Staff Union of Nigeria (JUSUN) to resolve the conundrum.
The NBA, Ado Ekiti Branch, said these in Ado Ekiti at a news conference marking the 10th Annual Law Week being held in honour of a Legal Icon, Chief Afe Babalola (SAN).
The Branch Chairman, Mr Adeyemi Adewumi gave the theme of this year’s Law week as: “The 21st Century Lawyer: Integrating Business Skills with Legal Knowledge”
He urged the Federal Government to convene a roundtable discussion, where all stakeholders could meet, ruminate and proffer solutions to the senseless killings and kidnappings of innocent Nigerians.
