Nigeria Judicial Workers Begin Nationwide Strike

Twenty four hours after the Judiciary Staff Union of Nigeria (JUSUN) directed its members across Nigeria to shut down the state courts in the country, members are beginning to adhere by the directive.

The union’s action is to kick against the noncompliance with the orders of the Federal High Court, Abuja on the financial autonomy and independence of the judiciary.

In Akwa Ibom State, South South Nigeria, judicial activities were paralysed as judiciary workers in the oil-rich state effectively stayed away from their duty posts.

The deserted premises of the judiciary Headquarters on Wellington Bassey Way, and the State High Court, on Metro road, both in Uyo is evidence that the workers are sticking to their words. - ChannlesTV
