JUSUN Clears Air On Suspended Judiciary Strike

The Rivers State
Chairman of Judiciary Staff Union of Nigeria (JUSUN), Mr. George Sokari, has given reason why the recent proposed strike by the union did not hold nation-wide as earlier scheduled.
Mr. Sokari while speaking with judiciary correspondents in his office in Port Harcourt, last Friday, said the strike was called off due to the intervention by the Minister of Labour and Productivity, Emeka Nwogu.
According to him, the minister held a meeting with members of the national executive of the union at Ilorin Kwara State where the resolution to suspend the strike was reached and communicated to all the branches across the country.
The JUSUN state chairman stated that the unions decision to listen to the minister’s appeal during the meeting was to give Federal Government a benefit of the doubt adding that the union was optimistic that government would live up to the union’s expectation.
It will be recalled that members of the Judiciary Staff Union of Nigeria (JUSUN), had declared that it would commence a warning strike last Wednesday, across the country, to demand unequivocally that the judgment/order of the Federal High Court, Abuja, on the financial autonomy and the independence of judiciary  be complied and implemented by the Federal Government.
