JUSUN To Rivers NBA: You Lack Locus To Issue Circular On Our Strike

The Judiciary Staff Union of Nigeria (JUSUN) has lambasted the
chairman of Nigeria Bar Association (NBA) PortHercout Branch,
Prince O. Nyekwere, Esq over his statement on the ongoing
nationwide industrial action by the Union.

The union in a statement warned that the strike cannot be call
off by a branch as alluded by NBA chairman in Rivers state over a
purported meeting with the new Chief Judge of the state.

JUSUN believes that prince Nyekwere is not her member and so
lacks the locust to talk about calling off an industrial action
that he does not declare in the first place.

The statement which was signed by the National Treasurer of
JUSUN Comrade Jimoh Musa Alonge, the union urges NBA to join hands
with JUSUN to salvage the Judiciary from being suffocated by the
governors in Nigeria.

“The attention of the National Secretariat of JUSUN has been
drawn to a purported circular title JUSUN strike update in Rivers
state by one Prince O. Nyekwere, Esq, Branch chairman of NBA in
Rivers state that JUSUN has agreed to call off Strike in the
state.

“Ordinary, the union would not have responded to what appears to
be propaganda by the NBA chairman in the state since he is not our
member, but for the purposes of putting the records straight, the
union wishes to state that the ongoing strike was declared by the
National Executive Council (NEC) of our great union and therefore
cannot be call off by any branch.

“That the union is willing and ready for dialogue towards
addressing the present impasse if not for the refusal of the
Governors to sign the Memorandum of Action reached at the instance
of Chief Conciliator in the country and Minister of Labour and
Employment, Dr. Chris Ngige.

“And that the union has resolved to take the fight to the
doorsteps of the Governors with nationwide street protest and
picketing to drive her point home”.
