 The River State Chapter of the Nigerian Bar Association joined its counterpart in a nationwide protest for the implementation of the country's judiciary financial autonomy. However, some lawyers got disappointed when they marched to the state government house and the governor told them that the protest of the Jewish strike in the state was baseless since the state was already implementing it. The chairman of Port Harcourt branch of Nigerian Bar Association Prince Nyekwere who spoke on behalf of the group said lawyers have been shot out of work for three weeks due to the Jusun strike following the national directive to all states. The River State Governor Yensom Wikis says the judiciary enjoys full financial autonomy in the state hence the industrial action embarked upon by members of the judiciary staff union of Nigeria is not necessary in the state.
