Share on FacebookShare on TwitterShare on Linkedin

Members of theĀ  Judiciary Staff Union of Nigeria (JUSUN) announced their strike today with the closure of Federal High Courts in different states across the nation. The union said the purpose of the strike is to draw attention to the financial autonomy of Nigeria’s Judiciary.

This was disclosed by the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in a report on Tuesday morning, after staff members, lawyers, and others were locked out and prevented from entering court premises.

    Our government is not working, many people are in police custody, some are in correctional center, without them knowing there offense, court should cut off the strike and let Nigeria move forward, they should pity the poor, we need court to start working.
