Supreme Court nullifies Buhari’s Executive Order 10
Share on FacebookShare on TwitterShare on LinkedinShare on Whatsapp

The Supreme Court has declared that Executive Order 10 (EO10) signed by President Muhammadu Buhari on financial autonomy for the judiciary and legislature is unlawful and unconstitutional.

This was the ruling of a seven-member panel of justices of the Supreme Court in a split decision of six to one on Friday.

Six out of the seven members of the panel nullified and set aside the EO10, while one justice delivered a dissenting judgment.

The apex court’s lead judgment, which was prepared by Justice Musa Dattijo Muhammed and read by Justice Centus Nweze, held that the responsibility of funding state courts lies squarely with the state governments.

The 36 state governors had filed the originating summons before the Supreme Court following the order signed in May 2020, arguing that under sections 121(3) and 6 of the Nigerian Constitution, 1999, the states are only to maintain the recurrent expenditure of the lower courts of the states, while the federal government would take care of the capital projects of High Courts upwards as superior courts of record.
