JUSUN Strike: When and Why Lawyers Revolt


In this article, Learned Senior Advocate, Ebun-Olu Adegboruwa, acknowledges the hardship that Lawyers have been facing over the past one month during which the JUSUN Strike has been ongoing, but encourages JUSUN not to back down until Judicial autonomy is achieved. He calls out the Governors who are legal practitioners, and asks what they are doing while Lawyers and Judges are suffering, while he chides those who secured their mandates through the courts, for biting the fingers that fed them
Situation Report
It is very unusual to see Lawyers down their tools, drop those scary wigs and dreaded gowns and become like the ordinary folks, seeking employment and placement. I have since read very funny articles on social media, about the kind of trade or business that Lawyers can take up during the period the courts are locked up due to the current JUSUN strike action. The Judiciary Staff Union of Nigeria, JUSUN, commenced what initially appeared to be an inconsequential strike action on April 6, 2021, to press home their demand for financial independence and autonomy for the Judiciary, and indeed, the legislative arms of Government across the nation. The thinking of most Lawyers and Judges at the commencement of the strike action was that it would fizzle out in the course of time, given that past attempts by JUSUN did not yield anything meaningful. But, it has been over one month now, and as each day passes by, the strike action seems to be getting stronger and biting harder.
