Yobe CJ Commends Gov. Buni For Giving 85% Financial Autonomy To Judiciary

The Yobe State chief judge, Kashim Gomna, said the state
judiciary enjoys 85% financial autonomy and has no business going
on strike.

He stated this in Damaturu on Saturday when he led High and
Sharia court judges to pay sallah homage to the governor.

He said the judicial workers joined the strike in solidarity
with their colleagues across the nation.

“If state judiciary were to decide individually, here in Yobe
state, there is no reason going on strike,” Mr Kashim said.

The CJ expressed confidence in the governor meeting all the
needs of the judiciary.

Responding, the governor expressed appreciation over the cordial
working relationship between the executive and the judiciary in the
state.

He however called on the judiciary to consider Nigerians who are
victims of the industrial action.

The governor cautioned that something must be done to rescue
‘accidental victims’ of the strike.
