Rivers state governor, Nyesom Wike has vowed not to abide by the recent agreement reached between the federal government and the striking judiciary and parliamentary workers in Nigeria.

The judicial and parliamentary workers have been on a nationwide strike for close to two months over the non-implementation of judicial and legislative financial autonomy.

After series of meetings between the striking workers and the federal government the two parties reached an agreement over the mode of the implementation of the legislative and judicial financial autonomy

One of the resolutions reached during the meeting was for state governments to set up a state account allocation committees to be given legislative backing in the various fund management laws which is to oversee the distribution of available resources to each arm of government.

But speaking during a valedictory court session in honour of the retired Chief Judge of the state, Justice Adama Laminkanra; Governor Wike claimed that he has already commenced the implementation of the financial autonomy for the judiciary and vowed not set up any committee as agreed by the striking workers and the federal government.

The Governor also threatened to halt the payment of the salaries of judicial workers in Rivers state, if they fail to call off their strike by the end of this month.

Speaking earlier, the retiring Chief Judge noted that the state government had already commenced the implementation of the financial autonomy for the judiciary before the strike by JUSUN members.
