Ondo Judiciary Strike: Governor Faces Criticism Over Financial Support Issues

The Ondo State judiciary strike enters its second week due to the state government's failure to grant financial autonomy. Governor Aiyedatiwa and a commissioner are accused of undermining judicial welfare and denying financial support.

The strike, joined by JUSUN, has led to court closures, raising concerns about access to justice and the rule of law. Allegations include the refusal to release approved funds for magistrate cars and delayed payment of entitlements.

The proposed budget cut for the judiciary has further exacerbated the situation.
