Breaking: Judiciary workers in Abia suspend strike

The Judiciary Staff Union of Nigeria (JUSUN), Abia State Branch has announced the suspension of its industrial action, effective immediately.

A statement jointly signed by Comrades Prince Chinedu Ezeh and Chibueze Nwachukwu as State Chairman and Secretary respectively said the decision followed the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between JUSUN and the Abia State Government and the full payment of all arrears arising from the late implementation of the new minimum wage in line with the CONJUSS Scale for Judiciary workers, amongst many other issues.

JUSUN in the statement commended the Government of Dr. Alex Otti for what it described as the governor’s prompt intervention and commitment to prioritizing the welfare of judiciary workers as well as appreciate the support and understanding of the general public for the emancipation of the Judiciary.

JUSUN further promised to remain committed to ensuring that the judiciary is robust, corruption-free, and dedicated to delivering justice to all as it hoped that the other issues agreed upon in the MoU will be implemented accordingly, stressing that this will further strengthen the judiciary and enhance justice delivery in Abia State.
