The Judiciary Staff Union of Nigeria, JUSUN, on Tuesday suspended its strike, which started on Monday.
This was contained in a communique released after a meeting with the representatives of the Chief Judge of Nigeria, CJN, Justice Kudirat Kekere-Ekun.
According to the communique signed by all shareholders present, long deliberations on issues led to the declaration of an industrial action by the union.
The communique said JUSUN resolved to oblige the intervention of CJN, Minister of Labour and Employment, Muhammad Dingyadi, NLC and other Stakeholders for one month for negotiations.
”Engage the Federal Government to release funds to the Judiciary within one month, and that upon the release of the funds, the demands by the JUSUN be implemented immediately,” the communique said.
Recall that the union, via a circular from its national headquarters in Abuja, ordered its members to commence a nationwide strike action from midnight of June 1, 2025.
The union’s demands include the implementation of the N70, 000 new minimum wage and its arrears, 25 ’35 per cent salary increase and a months wage award and their arrears.
The communique reiterated that consequent upon the commitment of the CJN, JUSUN and organs after due consideration agreed to suspend the ongoing industrial strike action.
On Monday, the Federal High Court Chapter of the union locked out judges, lawyers, staff, and litigants from accessing the court following the indefinite strike declared by its national body.
DAILY POST reports that the National President of the union, Marwan Adamu, on Monday, said all the organs of the union would meet to review and take necessary action following the feedback from the ongoing strike.
With the latest development, the union, therefore, ordered its members to resume work on Wednesday.
