 While it is no longer news that the judiciary staff union of Nigeria has been on strike for about two months, however our cross-section of legal practitioners has advised the government to lease into the union's demands as the strike has taken a huge toll on the judiciary and destiny Momo tells us more. On the 6th of April members of the judiciary staff union of Nigeria downed tolls. Their intent is to see an independent judiciary vis-a-vis full financial autonomy. As expected, judicial services are almost comatose and lawyers are empathizing with the members. A week ago the Nigerian Bar Association announced that Jusson would return to work that never saw the light of day. The Jusson members are on wavering insisting on immediate action. We heard this charming news from, you know, the outcome of the meeting that Minister of Labour had with Jusson stakeholders. Surprisingly, waiting to see, you know, the strike being called out by last week Monday only for us to be told that they were unable to assign an agreement. The number one way for this is just for the federal government to taste the need of the judiciary. As Nigeria embraces up for democracy day in less than a fourth night, there are high hopes that the federal government may listen to Jusson. The position is that they must see money in their accounts. Government have agreed to their terms. The terms have been agreed on but they said until government pays, puts money into their account, they will not open the courts. As if the damage done during the end session was not enough. Right now the Jusson strike seemed endless. The only hope for the judiciary might be the National Labour Congress being that the Jusson is an affiliate of the Nigerian Labour Congress. Who knows if the Nigerian Labour Congress add their voice to the Jusson strike, the federal government might be able to listen to their agitation.
