The joint meeting for negotiations between the Federal Government, Chief Registrars of states’ judiciary and the Judiciary Staff Union of Nigeria (JUSUN) on Tuesday ended unresolved.
The meeting was held at the office of the Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF) in Abuja, with all stakeholders present to deliberate and find the way forward.
The meeting had on Monday ended with all eyes on the Chief Registrars.
This was on the basis of the Chief Registrars confirming if any state had complied with the court order, which will be the basis for the strike to be called off.
During the meeting with the Registrars, the Chief Registrar of the Supreme Court, Ahmed Saleh, who spoke on behalf of others from the states, confirmed non-implementation by the states.
``I want to say on behalf of my colleagues, that both the state and federal government have not complied with the court judgment."
The Attorney-General of Ondo State, Eyitayo Jegede, who spoke on behalf of the Attorney-Generals of the states, said they agreed that a mistake had been made in this regard.
He however pleaded that the next move should about finding a way forward.
``This position is that we are all committed in our own way to ensure that every gap in areas of full implementation will be corrected.
``We want to assure that we are all working on the same goal, but we want to plead with you (JUSUN) to give us an opportunity to close all the gaps.
``Let us find a lasting solution to this problem. If we can be given about two months to get everything done and the strike is called off, it will be good," Jegede said.
The National President of JUSUN, Mr. Marwan Adamu, said the agreement for the meeting was to ascertain if some states had complied or not.
He however pointed out that if no state had complied with the court judgment there was nothing to be done.
Adamu said the only way forward was for the states and Federal Government to obey the court judgment.
On his part, the President of Nigeria Bar Association (NBA), Mr. Augusustine Alegeh, pleaded for the matter to be resolved earnestly.
He said the NBA could not take a decision for the Federal Government or the state governments, but could only advise.
The meeting was later rescheduled for Wednesday at the Supreme Court.
