Nasarawa JUSUN embark on indefinite strike over unmet demands
The Commission, however, threatened disciplinary action, in accordance with the applicable laws and regulations governing the service
The Nasarawa State branch of the Judiciary Staff Union of Nigeria (JUSUN) has declared an indefinite strike over the failure of the state government and Judicial Service Commission to implement its demands.
The state Chairman of JUSUN, Comrade Mas’ud Ubangari, confirmed the development on Tuesday night, saying the decision followed the expiration of a seven-day ultimatum given to the authorities.
Ubangari directed all members of the union to begin the indefinite strike from midnight on Tuesday, September 15, 2026.
He expressed concern that the relevant authorities had continued to delay action rather than address the issues raised by the union.
He said: “Our demands include the immediate implementation of the 40 per cent Peculiar Allowance approved by the National Salaries, Incomes and Wages Commission, financial autonomy for the judiciary, 58.1 per cent salary increase, and implementation of pending conversions and outstanding promotions.”
Meanwhile, the State Judicial Service Commission has directed all judicial staff to report at their respective duty posts and remain at work in compliance with a subsisting order of the National Industrial Court.
A statement issued by the Executive Secretary of the Commission, Ramatu Idris, directed all Chief Registrars to ensure strict compliance with the directive.
“The Commission therefore considers the proposed industrial action at this stage premature, particularly in view of the ongoing process initiated to address the Union’s demands and the existence of a subsisting order/ruling of the National Industrial Court concerning the proposed industrial action,” the statement read in part.
The Commission, however, threatened disciplinary action, in accordance with the applicable laws and regulations governing the service, against any judicial worker who fails to report for duty in compliance with the court order.
“The Judicial Service Commission remains committed to the rule of law, constructive engagement, industrial harmony and the peaceful resolution of disputes in the interest of justice and the public good,” the statement added.
