Gov Sani approves N1 billion for Kaduna judiciary workers’ entitlements
Governor Uba Sani has approved N1 billion for the payment of outstanding entitlements owed to judiciary workers in Kaduna.
The Judiciary Staff Union of Nigeria has in recent years pressed for improved welfare, financial autonomy and payment of outstanding entitlements for judiciary workers across states.
Receiving the leadership of JUSUN led by its state chairman, Auwalu Sarki, during a courtesy visit in Kaduna, Mr Sani said the intervention aimed at addressing long-standing welfare concerns in the judicial sector and strengthening industrial harmony within the state judiciary.
According to him, the approved payments cover two months of unpaid salaries for April and May 2021 inherited from the previous administration, leave grants for 2023, 2024 and 2025, as well as robe and outfit allowances for judiciary workers.
Mr Sani said the gesture underscored his administration’s commitment to fairness, workers’ welfare and institutional stability despite prevailing fiscal challenges. He described judiciary workers as critical stakeholders in the administration of justice and the sustenance of public confidence in democratic institutions.
“Our administration remains committed to improving staff welfare, modernising judicial infrastructure and sustaining cordial collaboration between the Executive and the Judiciary,” he said.
The governor added that his administration would continue to prioritise reforms aimed at strengthening judicial institutions and ensuring harmonious working relations between the government and judiciary workers in the state.
Mr Sarki, thanked the governor for approving the payment, and urged for sustained support to the judiciary.
