Nigerian judiciary workers have decided to embark on a nationwide indefinite strike come 2nd of January 2015, DailyPost says.
In a communique, the Judiciary Staff Union of Nigeria (JUSUN) lamented the failure of stakeholders to respect the last memorandum of understanding regarding financial autonomy of the Judiciary, saying this prompted the strike.
Rising from an emergency meeting of its National Executive Committee (NEC), in Abuja, the union explained that the strike became imperative, considering the “rough terrain encountered by the union to make the governors implement the judgment of Federal High Court delivered on 13th January, 2014 but fall on deaf ears.”
It stated that it is obvious that the state Governors were deliberately disobeying and frustrating the independence of Judiciary.
JUSUN said their action amounts to a level of “insincerity and insensitive” of the Governors and the insecurity in the process of democratic principles as they have conspired not to allow a constitutional guaranteed and provided partner to exercise its due rights.’
JUSUN accused the Accountant General of the Federation of compromising his position and authority imposed on him by the court order.
The communique was jointly signed by the union President, comrade Marwan Mustapha Adamu and Assistant General Secretary, Comrade Placidus Nnamani.
The union had suspended its previously intended strike following the last Memorandum of understanding supervised by the Minister of Labour reached on 27th November, 2014.
