The Judiciary Staff Union of Nigeria, JUSUN, has agreed to
suspend its two months strike.

In a chat with TheNigerialawyer, JUSUN treasurer, Jimoh Musa,
said the strike suspension was agreed during a meeting between the
Union and the National Judicial Council, NJC, on Tuesday, June 8,
2021.

However, he further said that the suspension has to be approved
by National Executive Council of JUSUN, being the highest
decision-making body of the Union.

He also said that after two or three months of suspension if the
Governors fail to do the needful the union will begin a new
strike.

Musa said the state governors were yet to commence direct
payment of monthly allocations from the federation account to the
judiciary, as agreed in the series of reconciliatory meetings
convened by the Labour Minister, Chris Ngige.

“They (governors) have not started paying (the funds directly to
the NJC). We are waiting for the state governors to commence
payment so that we can inform our workers.

Publicity Secretary, JUSUN NEC will hold an emergency meeting on
