JUSUN: Ondo judiciary workers begin strike over financial autonomy
The Judiciary Staff Union of Nigeria has commenced an indefinite strike due to the non-implementation of financial autonomy by the Ondo government.
The secretary of JUSUN in Ondo, Kehinde Alade, stated this in a statement on Friday.
“I hereby notify you that we will commence our planned industrial action starting today, June 13, 2025. This decision follows the expiration of the seven-day ultimatum issued to the government of Ondo State on June 4, 2025.
“We perceived the lack of response from the government to address the reneged parts of the agreements outlined in the memorandum of understanding (MoU) signed on May 20, 2015.
“This MoU contains the release of funds to the Ondo State judiciary by the state government in line with judiciary financial autonomy. We, therefore, direct all our members to stay off duty starting from today, June 13, 2025, till further directive and to adhere strictly to the industrial action guidelines,” said the JUSUN statement.
According to the statement, the refusal of Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa’s government to honour the agreements contained in the MoU has had adverse effects on the members.
It, therefore, urged the government to take immediate action to fulfil its obligations and implement the MoU to avoid further consequences.
