CJN Appeals To JUSUN To Call Off Strike

The Chief Justice of Nigeria (CJN), Justice Ibrahim Tanko has
appealed to the Judiciary Staff Union of Nigeria (JUSUN) to call
off the ongoing strike action in the interest of the nation and the
larger interest of justice.

The CJN made the appeal on Tuesday when the Minister of Labour
and Employment, Dr Chris Ngige met with him at the Supreme Court
over the ongoing strike embarked upon by the Judiciary Staff to
demand financial autonomy for the Judiciary in the country.

Upon being briefed by the Minister on the negotiation level so
far, the CJN said when the strike is called off, it would also
provide an opportunity for further negations towards the resolution
of the dispute.

A statement by the Senior Special Assistant on Media to the CJN,
Ahuraka Yusuf Isah said the CJN observed that some of the issues in
contention are already sub justice.

The CJN, according to the statement said, there is a need to
give the requisite legal process enough opportunity to be
exhausted.
