Ade Adesomoju, Abuja The Attorney-General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Mr Abubakar Malami , said on Monday that Nigerian judges would lose their annual two-month vacation when normalcy

returns to the country after the containment of the ravaging COVID-19 pandemic.

He stated this in a 10-point plan of his office for the urgent need “to adjust the judicial process to make for recovery of lost grounds occasioned by the lockdown.”But Malami said on Monday that the period of the ongoing lockdown and restrictions imposed in different parts of the country to contain the spread of the deadly coronavirus would have afforded the judges enough time to rest.

“The 2020 court vacation could be suspended as the COVID-19 lockdown period has provided judges with the much-needed break from official duties.” Malami noted that the “paradigm shift” to be adopted in the post-COVID-19 era would be driven essentially by the adoption of Information Technology, which would encompass electronic filing of cases and payment of filing fees.

Exactly why the Judiciary is not independent, what authority does a minister have over Judiciary.

Everything is wrong with this statement! MalamiSan is AGF/Minister of Justice, a cabinet member in the Executive Arm of govt.He's not the head of the Judiciary, a supposed independent arm of govt under the leadership of the CJN. Such policy statement supposed to come from CJN.
