Judiciary Staff Union of Nigeria, JUSUN, has suspended its two months old strike.
Gatekeepers News reports that the Judiciary Staff Union of Nigeria (JUSUN) nationwide strike which has lasted for over two months has been suspended indefinitely.
JUSUN had, on April 6, announce that it will embark on a nationwide strike in protest demanding amongst other things, financial autonomy for the judiciary in the light of Sections 81 and 121(3) of the 1999 Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria and decisions of Federal High Courts to the effect that all funds due to the judiciary from the Consolidated Revenue Fund shall be paid directly to the Heads of the Courts concerned.
A subsequent Executive Order was issued by His Excellency, President Muhammadu Buhari “Implementation of financial Autonomy of States Legislature and State Judiciary” on 20th May 2020, yet some State Governors have failed to implement this fundamental provision of the Law.
However, the union resolved to suspend the industrial action during its national executive council (NEC) meeting, which held in Abuja, FCT.
