The Judiciary Staff Union of Nigeria (JUSUN), Kaduna State Branch, has resumed its suspended indefinite strike action, citing government’s failure to implement agreements reached after months of negotiations.
In a notice dated Feb. 12 and signed by the Chairman, Auwalu Sarki, and Assistant Secretary, Nasir Haroun, the union said the decision followed prolonged engagements and assurances that were not fulfilled.
The union recalled that it had earlier issued a demand letter on Sept. 1, 2025, an ultimatum on Oct. 9, 2025, and a notice of indefinite strike on Oct. 23, 2025, before suspending the action on Oct. 31, 2025, to allow for dialogue.
According to the notice, several meetings were subsequently held involving representatives of the national body of JUSUN, the Kaduna State Government, and the Nigerian Bar Association, during which a technical committee and sub-committee were set up and resolutions reached.
“Regrettably, these agreements have not been implemented. The persistent failure to honour commitments and repeated unfulfilled assurances have left the union with no viable alternative,” the notice stated.
The union said the strike would continue until further notice, adding that while it remained open to constructive dialogue, it believed its demands had not been adequately addressed.
JUSUN appealed to the public and justice sector stakeholders to bear with any inconveniences, noting that the action was aimed at strengthening the independence and effective functioning of the judiciary in the state. (NAN)
