 Kaduna Courts Shut Down As Judiciary Workers Begin Indefinite Strike


Courts across Kaduna State were shut down on Monday as members of the Judiciary Staff Union of Nigeria (JUSUN) embarked on an indefinite strike, accusing the state government of failing to address their long-standing demands.


In a statement issued after an emergency meeting, the union said it had been left with “no option but to explore all available avenues for an indefinite strike,” following what it described as the government’s continued silence on several correspondences, including letters dated September 1 and October 9, 2025.


A Daily Trust correspondent observed that most courts within Kaduna metropolis were closed as early as 8:00 a.m., with JUSUN officials moving around to ensure full compliance with the strike directive.


At the State High Court along Bida Road, the main gate was chained, with union members stationed nearby. Similarly, the Sharia Courts at Magajin Gari 1 and 2 were locked and deserted.


Speaking at the High Court premises, JUSUN Vice Chairman Donatus Adamu confirmed that the industrial action would continue until the union’s demands were met.


“We support this government, it is our government but unfortunately, we had no choice but to commence the strike today,” Adamu said.

“Our action is not meant to target anyone; it is for the improvement of the entire system. Our demands include the implementation of financial autonomy for the judiciary and the consequential adjustment for the new minimum wage.”


Other demands listed by the union include payment of nine-month leave grants, among others.


“As soon as these issues are addressed, we will call off the strike,” Adamu assured.


The union’s Organizing Secretary, Aminu S. Wada, also decried the plight of judiciary workers in the state, saying that staff between grade levels 1 and 6 have yet to receive the full ₦72,000 minimum wage.


He described the situation as “unhealthy and demoralizing for the workforce.”
