JUSUN Strike: Lagos Court Remains Shut.
Despite the partial reopening of operations by the Lagos Chapter of the Judiciary Staff Union of Nigeria, courts in the State remains shut.
The Judiciary Staff Union of Nigeria’s counter directive comes hours after the Lagos State Chapter of the Judiciary Staff Union of Nigeria said it had relaxed its strike rules to allow for clearance of backlogs, reading of Judgement, decongestion of prisons occasioned by the COVID-19 pandemic and the EndSARS protest.
The Chairman of the Judiciary Staff Union of Nigeria in Lagos, Shobowale Kehinde, said that Work and official duties are allowed on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday of every week, while Monday and Tuesdays of every week remain strike days that all staff must stay off duty to observe.
The Lagos courts remained shut with members of the Lagos Chapter of the Judiciary Staff Union of Nigeria monitoring compliance and a few judiciary workers who were there said off-camera that they were not allowed into the court premises.
A representative of the Lagos Chapter of the Judiciary Staff Union of Nigeria said that though the chapter was sympathetic to the partial resumption of work, the National body had overruled the decision and directed the Lagos branch to resume full strike.
