Osun JUSUN Demands Fairness in Appointment of Judicial Commission Secretary

JUSUN’s Osun State branch says qualified career administrative officers should be eligible to become secretary of the Osun State Judicial Service Commission and should not be excluded simply because they are not lawyers. In a statement by state chairman Idris Adedayo Adeniran, the union said the Gazette cited by Mrs Fagbola concerns retirement-age extensions and is not the law establishing the commission. JUSUN pointed to former non-lawyer secretaries and argued that lawyers’ past appointments do not establish a legal requirement to reserve the role for legal practitioners. It also sought clarification about the proposed transfer of Kola Isiaka Alao, director of administration and supplies, and claims that he was assigned to a non-existent office.
