Judiciary workers insist Courts to remain shut in 15 states of Ekiti, Kaduna, Yobe, Taraba, Adamawa, Nasarawa and Plateau, Benue, Anambra, Abia, Enugu, Osun, Ondo, Edo and Cross River States
The Judiciary Staff
Union of Nigeria has said courts in 15 states of the federation will
remain
shut until it gets the commitment of the government of the affected states to
guarantee the financial autonomy of the judiciary.
JUSUN embarked on a
nationwide strike on January 5, 2015, but the industrial action had been
suspended in federal courts and in states where their governments had given
commitment to meet the union’s demand.
A statement by the
President of the union, Mr. Marwan Adamu, said the states where the judiciary
workers’ strike is in its fourth month were Ekiti, Kaduna, Yobe, Taraba,
Adamawa, Nasarawa and Plateau.
Others were Benue,
Anambra, Abia, Enugu, Osun, Ondo, Edo and Cross River States.
The statement read in
part, “The Judiciary Staff Union of Nigeria has said it is committed to
ensuring the full autonomy of the Judiciary sector in all the states of the
Federation.
“The Union wishes to state that the ongoing strike in 15 states
will be sustained until proper things are done by the affected governors.”
Adamu also urged the public to disregard “mischief-makers who are
spreading rumors of fresh strike by the union.”
He said the strike would have been suspended if those state
governors had done the needful “to save the sector from further ridicule by
enemies of democracy.”
