Nigerian Judiciary Workers JUSUN Declare Indefinite Nationwide Strike Over Unpaid Wages
The Judiciary Staff Union of Nigeria (JUSUN), Federal High Court Chapter, has announced an indefinite nationwide strike.
The strike is in response to the government’s failure to implement agreed wage increases for judicial workers.
The leadership of JUSUN in a circular dated May 30 and seen by SaharaReporters on Saturday, ordered the shutdown of various Federal High Courts across the country as from Monday, June 2.
The union’s Public Relations Officer, Mr. Gideon A. Maku, said the strike action followed a breakdown in negotiations between JUSUN’s national leadership and the Minister of Labour and Employment on Friday, May 30, 2025.
According to him, this action is to protest against the non-payment of five months arrears of wage award, non-implementation of N70,000 national minimum wage and the non-implementation of the 25/35 per cent salary increase.
“As a result of the failed negotiations and lack of government commitment, the Union has resolved to proceed on an indefinite strike effective from Monday, June 2,” the circular stated.
“All members of staff are hereby directed to remain at home until further notice.”
