According to the statement, Kazeem Alogba, Chief Judge of the state, approved April 18 to April 25, as holiday for judicial workers, for the celebration.

The statement noted that workers were expected to resume work on April 28.

“Arrangements for dealing with urgent causes  during the break are that each judge will deal with all urgent applications,  related to any substantive cause already assigned to them.

“In any urgent application, the substantive cause of which has not already been assigned, will be dealt with by the judge to whom the application is specifically assigned.”
