Anambra Judiciary Workers Call Off Strike

Judiciary Workers in Anambra State, under the aegis of the Judiciary Staff Union of Nigeria (JUSUN), have suspended their ongoing strike.

The strike, which had paralyzed court activities in the state for two weeks, was a protest over the non-payment of the Consolidated Judiciary Salary Structure (CONJUS).

The suspension was announced in a letter addressed to Directors, Deputy Directors, Assistant Chief Registrars, Registrars In-charge, and staff of the Anambra State Judiciary. The letter, signed by the JUSUN Anambra Chairman, Mr. Ezeoke Henry, and Secretary, Mr. Nwezi Ugochukwu, was seen by NIGERIA NEWS 247.

The letter read: “Following a meeting between the Governor of Anambra State and the executives of the Judiciary Staff Union of Nigeria (JUSUN), Anambra State Branch, on July 24 regarding the Consolidated Judiciary Salary Structure (CONJUS), Mr. Governor promised to set up a committee to address the issue after the implementation of the new minimum wage in the state.

“After much deliberation and consideration of the matter by the congress in an emergency meeting held on July 26 at the Judiciary Headquarters, High Court of Justice, Awka, the congress decided to suspend the ongoing indefinite strike by the branch.

“In accordance with the decision of the congress, all staff of the Anambra State Judiciary are hereby directed to resume work on Friday, July 26, 2024.”
