The Judiciary Staff Union of Nigeria (JUSUN) has issued a seven-day ultimatum to the Federal Government, threatening to embark on a nationwide strike if their demands are not met. The union is protesting against the non-implementation of judicial financial autonomy, delayed salaries, and poor working conditions across the judiciary sector.
JUSUN leaders emphasized that the failure to grant financial independence to the judiciary undermines the rule of law and weakens the justice system. They warned that if the government does not take immediate action, courts across the country will be shut down, disrupting legal proceedings and access to justice.
This latest threat follows previous industrial actions by JUSUN, which have paralyzed court activities in the past. The Federal Government has yet to respond, but legal professionals and stakeholders are urging swift negotiations to prevent another judicial shutdown.
