Members of the Nasarawa State Chapter of Judicial Staff Union
(JUSUN), temporarily prevented the Chief Judge of the state,
Justice Suleiman Dikko, from gaining entrance to his office in
Lafia on Monday.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that members of the
union have been on strike since Feb. 16.
It took sustained pleadings by the CJ before the workers allowed
him to move to his office.
Members of the State Judicial Service Commission were earlier
allowed access to the State High Court Headquarters for a meeting
over the JUSUN strike.
Jimoh Musa, Chairman of JUSUN in the state, told newsmen that
the strike would continue until all their nine demands are met.
The judicial workers grievances include among others none
promotion and annual increment of salaries, and refusal to convert
qualified staff to judges.
He called on the members to remain at home pending further
directive from the union.
Meanwhile, the Chief Judge has directed all judicial service
workers in the state to return to work or lose their pay.
“Any staff that failed to report to his or her duty post today
would not be paid for the period he or she is not in office,”
spokesman of the state High Court, Enoch Ali-Maku, said.(NAN)
