Judiciary workers suspend strike
The Judiciary Staff Union of Nigeria (JUSUN), on Tuesday, suspended its strike which started on Monday.
JUSUN announced the suspension in a communique issued after its meetings with the representatives of the Chief Judge of Nigeria (CJN), Justice Kudirat Kekere-Ekun.
The communique, signed by all shareholders present, said this was after long deliberations on issues that led to the declaration of the industrial action by the union.
According to the communique, the following agreement was reached; that the JUSUN oblige the intervention of CJN, minister of labour and employment, Muhammad Dingyadi, NLC and other stakeholders for one month for negotiations.
”Engage the federal government to release funds to the Judiciary within one month, and that upon the release of the funds, the demands by the JUSUN be implemented immediately.”
JUSUN’s demands include the implementation of the N70,000 new minimum wage and its arrears, 25/35 per cent salary increase and five months wage award and their arrears.
The communique added that consequently upon the commitment of the CJN, JUSUN and organs after due consideration agreed to suspend the ongoing industrial strike action.
The union, therefore, directed its members to resume work on Wednesday.
“Consequent upon the commitment of the Chief Justice of Nigeria, JUSUN and its organs after due consideration agreed to suspend the ongoing industrial strike action. With this development, members of staff are hereby directed to resume work tomorrow, Wednesday, 4 June, 2025.”
