Fund, House and Protect an Independent Judiciary
GREEN WHITE GO MANIFESTO — 2026.10.01 · CANONICAL THREE-SENTENCE UNIT
Green White Go proposes professional compensation for judges and court staff, institution-provided housing where appropriate, adequate protection, and publicly supported legal representation for every Nigerian through a national legal-aid corps under independent governance.
Judicial funds should flow directly to the institution under the lawful constitutional arrangement rather than through the personal discretion of an executive officeholder.
The purpose is to reduce two forms of dependence at once: judges should not rely personally on political patrons to do their work, and citizens should not lose practical access to justice because they cannot afford legal representation.

Evidence notes for this pillarRelated Hard Questions
The proposal combines professional pay, appropriate institutional housing and protection with funding that flows lawfully to the judicial institution rather than through an executive officeholder’s personal discretion. It also proposes a nationally supported legal-aid corps under independent governance. These are institutional protections, not claims that better pay alone prevents corruption.
