The Judiciary Staff Union of Nigeria (JUSUN), Anambra State Chapter, initiated an indefinite strike on Monday, July 15, due to the state government’s failure to implement the Consolidated Judiciary Salary Structure (CONJUSS).
As a result, there were no court proceedings at the High Courts at Ekwueme Square, Chief Magistrate’s Courts, and Customary Courts in Amawbia, Awka. Lawyers and litigants who arrived at various courts found the entrance gates locked and were turned away.
The strike notice, shared on Saturday, July 13, was sent to all Directors, Deputy Directors, Assistant Chief Registrars, Registrars in charge, and judiciary staff in Anambra State. Nwezi Ugochukwu, the Assistant Secretary of the union, stated that the decision followed the Anambra State government’s failure to comply with agreements made in 2011 and 2015 with JUSUN.
Ugochukwu explained that the agreements were focused on the full implementation of CONJUSS, a specific allowance for judiciary staff in the state. He lamented that despite the union’s 21-day ultimatum, the government had not met the judiciary workers’ demands.
The notice released on Saturday stated: “The strike action is indefinite, and all staff of the Anambra State Judiciary have been directed to withdraw their services until further directives from the union. The public is advised to take note of the strike action and make necessary arrangements, as all court sittings and judicial activities will be suspended until further notice. JUSUN has vowed to continue the strike until their demands are met by the state government. The indefinite strike action by JUSUN is a result of the Anambra State government’s failure to honor agreements reached with the union. The strike is expected to have significant implications for the judiciary and the public in Anambra State.”
The demand for the judiciary allowance has persisted for 13 years, with multiple agreements signed between the union and the⬤
