Judiciary workers in Anambra State, under the aegis of the Judiciary Staff Union of Nigeria (JUSUN), have called off their ongoing strike.
The strike had halted court activities in the state for two weeks due to a protest over the non-payment of the Consolidated Judiciary Salary Structure (CONJUS).
The suspension of the strike was announced in a letter addressed to Directors, Deputy Directors, Assistant Chief Registrars, Registrars In-charge, and other staff members of the Anambra State judiciary.
The letter, signed by the chairman and secretary of JUSUN in Anambra State, formally notified the judiciary staff of the decision to resume work.
The letter read: “Sequel to the meeting held between the governor of Anambra State and the executives of Judiciary Staff Union of Nigeria (JUSUN), Anambra State branch, on July 24, being in respect of the Consolidated Judiciary Salary Structure (CONJUS), the governor promised to set up a committee to address the issue of CONJUS after the implementation of the new minimum wage in the state.”
“After much deliberations and consideration of the matter by the congress in her emergency meeting held at the judiciary headquarters, the High Court of Justice, Awka, the congress reached a decision to suspend the ongoing indefinite strike by the branch.”
“In accordance with the decision of the congress, all staff of Anambra State judiciary are by this notice directed to resume work on Friday, July 26, 2024.”
