The Judiciary Staff Union
of Nigeria (JUSUN) has denied the suspension of its ongoing nationwide strike.
In an interview with The Tide, the State Chairman, Comrade Sokari George, said
the National Executive Council has not directed any state branch to suspend the
strike action.
George confirmation came on the heels of an alleged suspension of the
nationwide strike, following a truce each by the union with The Federal
Government through Minister of Labour and Productivity, Chief Emeka Nwogu.
He said the union is still on strike until the federal and state governments obey
the court judgment of the Federal High Court on the direct line funding of the
Judiciary as an independent arm of government.
The union leader said Jusun members are not on any selfish nationwide strike
but are on strike to strengthen the Judiciary in the performance of its
constitutional enshrined role as recognised by the 1999 constitution.
He said the strike action would be called off upon the full implementation of the
Federal High Implementation of the Federal High Court Judgement by the federal
and state governments.
He enjoined the various stakeholders in the Justice administration to understand
the position of the Union for embarking on the nationwide strike.
In a similar vein , the national Publicity Secretary of Jusun, Comrade Kayode
Agbargbo, has described as nonsense the insinuation in some quarters that the
union has called off its nationwide strike.
He said “as the spokesman of the union, the National Executive Council (NEC) of
the Union has never met to take any decision in relationship to the suspension of
the union strike action”.
Kayode said “even the union National President has never called him to inform
him to the suspension of the strike action” stressing that the nationwide strike
continues.
However, The Tide investigation revealed that the Jusun nationwide strike has
taken heavy toll on practicing lawyers across the country.
Here in Port Harcourt some lawyers especially the younger ones are finding it
difficult to make ends meet as the gate of the courts remained shut due to Jusun’s
strike action.
Though I will still go to court on Monday to be sure
