The Judiciary Staff Union of Nigeria (JUSUN) in Osun State has insisted that the intervention of the Judicial Service Commission (JSC) is the only way to restore industrial harmony. This appeal comes as an ongoing strike paralyzes the state’s courts.

Mr. Idris Adeniran, the Osun JUSUN chairman, stated Osogbo on Friday, outlining the union’s position. The union believes the JSC, led by Osun Chief Judge Justice Adepele Ojo, possesses the authority to address staff welfare challenges and boost judicial integrity.

Despite numerous attempts, including formal letters, JUSUN has yet to secure a meeting with Justice Ojo and the JSC. This failure to engage is cited as the primary obstacle to resolving the dispute over pending promotions and other entitlements

It stated that the JSC chairman should reconsider the union’s request for a meeting in order to find lasting solutions to the issues on the ground.

” We will continue to resist the unjustified non-implementation of outstanding promotions and welfare issues affecting our members .

” We urge Judiciary staff members to disregard false and baseless information aimed at undermining our collective resolve , ” the union said .

The union maintained that the strike would remain indefinite until the JSC took the necessary action.

The News Agency of Nigeria reports that the union on Sept. 19 directed its members to withdraw their services immediately over unpaid entitlements.

The strike is also to compel the JSC to consider the 2024 and 2025 promotions for its members, as well as organise training for staff members .
