The Lagos State Judiciary has granted a one-week Easter holiday for its employees.
The Chief Judge of Lagos State, Justice Kazeem Alogba, approved a break for court staff to celebrate Easter from April 7 to April 14, according to a statement issued on Tuesday.
Workers were due to start work on April 17, according to a statement signed by the Acting Chief Registrar, Mr Tajudeen Elias, and dated March 13, but made accessible to journalists on Tuesday.
According to the statement, throughout the Easter holiday, each judge will deal with all urgent applications connected to any substantive cause already assigned to him/her.
