 Judiciary Workers Suspend Planned Nationwide Strike for Two Weeks


The Judiciary Staff Union of Nigeria (JUSUN) has suspended its planned nationwide strike, originally set to begin on June 2, following productive talks with the Minister of Labour and key judiciary stakeholders. The decision grants a two-week period for authorities to address pending financial issues.


According to a statement by JUSUN’s Public Relations Officer for the National Judicial Council Chapter, Mr. Joel Ebiloma, the suspension follows a series of meetings over the past 48 hours involving JUSUN representatives, the Minister of Labour, and judiciary stakeholders, as directed by the Honourable Chief Justice of Nigeria, Justice Kudirat Kekere-Ekun. The aim was to avert court closures nationwide.


The meetings resolved to give the Minister of Labour and other stakeholders two weeks to resolve issues with the Office of the Accountant General of the Federation. The Accountant General is expected to release statutory allocations to the judiciary, as outlined in the 2025 Appropriation, covering arrears for the Wage Award, minimum wage, and a 25%/35% salary increase.


JUSUN has directed all staff to resume work on Monday, June 2, to allow stakeholders to engage with the relevant authorities. The union expressed confidence in the efforts of the National Judicial Council’s Secretary, Malam Ahmed Gambo Saleh, to secure the release of the funds within the stipulated time frame.


“We salute the patience, courage, and understanding of all our respected members in this struggle,” the statement read, emphasizing hope for a resolution that will benefit all judiciary workers.
