DON'T DISARM OUR GOVERNMENT

The Judiciary is an arm of the government. I'm tempted to say that it is the most important arm because it can solely install members of other arms of government, the Executive & the Legislature. When I knew that the present Nigerian Government has lost their political battle was when the houses of our Judges was invaded and they were publicly humiliated.

At the NYSC CAMP, I led a group of Law Corp Members to the Camp Director to inquire why the Judiciary is not recognized in the National youth service Programme. The simple answer he gave us was that it was a mere omission. I was angry as to why the Health Sector, the Educational Sector, The Agricultural Sector & the Infrastructural Sector of the economy will be recognised in the NYSC while an Arm of government, the Judiciary will not be recognised in the NYSC Programme. The intimidation, humiliation & disgrace we, the judicial arm of government is experiencing in Nigeria is not far-Fetched.

To solve this problem, I think the Judiciary should be made financially independent!! All Law Corps member should be posted to the Ministry of Justice.  Worlkers at the Ministry of Justice should be paid all their outstanding salary & allowances. Our Legal Practitioners Act & Rules of Professional Conduct should be revived. With this, the arm (democratic power) of our Government will be restored & revived!!!
