Abuja: Federal High Court ignores NLC, TUC’s strike directive
As the NLC and TUC strike enters the second day, court activities at the Abuja Division of the Federal High Court are going smoothly.
A check showed that judges, staff, lawyers and litigants in the high-rise building were doing their business without hindrance. At least eight were sitting from the first to the fifth floor, which housed 13 courts in the building.
Court activities went on unchecked yesterday.
However, a notice of congress meeting by the FHC’s chapter of the Judiciary Staff Union of Nigeria (JUSUN) signed by its spokesman, G.A. Maku, said there would be an emergency meeting of all staff by 11:00 a.m. Wednesday.
“All members of staff are expected to converge at Ukeje Hall @11am this morning for an emergency meeting.
“This meeting is noteworthy as members will be briefed on the position of the union with regards to the ongoing NLC strike action and other important issues please,” the notice stated.
