The Judiciary Staff Union of Nigeria (JUSUN) has urged the federal government to direct the attorney-general of the federation to pay allocations directly to state judiciaries.
President Buhari, on May 22, 2020, signed into law an executive order 10 which made it mandatory for all states to include the allocations of both the legislature and the judiciary in the first-line charge of their budgets.
For states that refuse to grant judicial autonomy, the order also mandates the accountant-general of the federation to deduct the amount from the monthly allocation to each state.
