Executives of the Judiciary Staff Union of Nigeria, (JUSUN), have again, met with the Chief Justice of Nigeria (CJN), Justice Ibrahim Tanko Muhammad, to explain why they would not suspend the strike action they commenced on April 6 to demand for the implementation of financial autonomy for the Judiciary.
A statement signed by media aide to the CJN, Mr. Ahuraka Isah, disclosed that the meeting held on Wednesday. Isah said the essence of the meeting was for JUSUN leaders to give feedback to the CJN on his recent demand on the union to call-off the ongoing strike that has paralysed judicial activities across the federation. At the meeting, JUSUN officials, led by its Deputy National President, Emmanuel Abioye and Jimoh Musa Alonge (Treasurer), explained why the union found it difficult to heed the CJN’s demand to call off the strike. Abiyoye told the CJN that state governors must begin to demonstrate some level of seriousness by putting in place some measures precedent to the implementation of financial autonomy for the judiciary in their respective states. Meanwhile, in his remarks, the CJN said it had become difficult to fault the idea of the strike since rights of the union and its members, which he said were clearly defined in the Constitution, were being denied, especially at state level.
