In a letter addressed to the Chief Justice, Oyewole Kayode Emmanuel, writing on behalf of the concerned workers, emphasized the financial strain and distress the continued delay has caused for many employees in the judiciary.
“For an extended period, our dedicated workers in the Federal Judiciary have been waiting for the payment of their rightful entitlements, yet nothing has been done,” Emmanuel wrote.
“This issue has persisted, causing significant distress and financial strain for many who have always committed themselves to serving justice in Nigeria.”
He highlighted the vital role federal judiciary workers play in upholding the rule of law and ensuring the smooth functioning of Nigeria’s legal system. However, despite their dedication, delays in compensation have led to declining morale among the workforce.
“Our commitment to duty remains unwavering, but the lack of timely remuneration undermines our morale and productivity,” Emmanuel explained.
The letter acknowledged the challenges facing the government but urged the Chief Justice to prioritise resolving the matter, stressing that timely payment is essential not only for the welfare of judiciary workers but also for the efficiency and integrity of the entire legal system.
“We understand the government’s challenges, but it is essential that this matter be resolved quickly,” Emmanuel said.
“Ensuring that judiciary workers receive their rightful dues is a matter of great importance, as it will reinforce the integrity of our legal system.”
The concerned workers called for immediate action to resolve the issue and requested a clear timeline for payment.
“We kindly request that you take immediate action to address this matter and provide a clear timeline for the payment of these outstanding amounts,” Emmanuel added.
