Federal judiciary workers on solidarity strike---- Lagos JUSUN

By -
(Nigeria) Mr Emmanuel Abioye, Chairman, Judiciary Staff Union of Nigeria, JUSUN, Lagos State branch, on Tuesday explained why federal judiciary workers backed out of the indefinite strike embarked upon by JUSUN.
Abioye said  in Lagos that the federal judiciary workers only joined the strike in solidarity with their states’ counterparts.
JUSUN commenced the indefinite strike on January 2 to press home their demand for financial independence for states' judiciary.
However on January 25,the national body of JUSUN directed all federal courts in the country to reopen while the state judiciary workers continued the strike.
"The federal judiciary workers were on solidarity strike with us because the Federal Government has already complied with their demands. That is why they have to call-off the strike and reopen the federal courts,’’ Abioye said.
He said the strike would continue until state governments comply with the Jan.13, 2014 judgment of a Federal High Court in Abuja.
The court had ordered the Accountant-General of the Federation, AGF, to make deductions of the amount standing to the credit of states’ judiciary in the Consolidated Revenue Fund.
The court directed the AGF to remit it to the National Judicial Council which will then disburse same to the various heads of court.
