The Judiciary Staff Union of Nigeria on Monday vowed to continue its ongoing nationwide industrial action despite an agreement reached on May 20 to meet their demands.
JUSUN hinged its decision to continue the strike that started on April 6 on the fact that state governors had failed to sign the agreement and begin implementation as expected.
The union’s National Treasurer, Jimoh Musa, disclosed this in an interview with our correspondent on Monday.
Recall that on May 20, state governors and the leadership of JUSUN and Parliamentary Staff Association of Nigeria signed an agreement on the modalities and timelines for the commencement of full financial autonomy for state judiciary and legislative arms of government.

The Foundation for Environmental Rights Advocacy and Development, FENRAD, a pro-democracy and rights group, has lamented the spate of killings across Nigeria.
FENRAD, in a statement signed by its Executive Director, Nelson Nnanna Nwafor and made available to DAILY POST on Saturday, lamented that Boko Haram had captured over 50 local communities in Niger State recently who now pay allegiance to the fundamentalist sect.
According to the group, “While all this happened, the Nigeria Air Force (NAF) after mobilising for aerial attacks on the locations of the terrorists could not show discipline and coordination required to deal with the anti-terror campaign as the recent operation killed over twenty personnel within the Nigerian military.”
