The Imo State chapter of the Judiciary Staff Union of Nigeria, on
Wednesday announced the suspension of the industrial action
it embarked upon to
press for the implementation of the judgment of a Federal High Court upholding
financial autonomy for the judiciary.
The nationwide strike,
directed by the National Executive Committee of JUSUN, had been on in Imo State
for about three months until it was called off on Wednesday.
During the time, all
levels of courts in the state were completely shut down.
But in a statement on
Wednesday by the Senior Special Assistant to the Imo State Governor Rochas
Okorocha, Sam Onwuemeodo, the workers suspended the strike following “a serious
meeting between the state government and the union leaders” in the state.
The statement quoted the
Chairman of Imo State chapter of JUSUN, Mr. Aloka Kenneth, to have directed its
members in the state to return to work, stating that the action followed an
agreement between the union’s leadership and the state government.
According to Onwuemeodo,
Kenneth commended Okorocha for being a part of the deliberations that resulted
in the signing of an agreement between the union and the government.
