Ogun judiciary workers begin strike over short payment of salaries
The Judiciary Staff Union of Nigeria(JUSUN) Ogun branch, on Wednesday, began an indefinite strike over short payment of salaries by the state government.
The state JUSUN Chairman, Mr Edun Tajudeen, who spoke to the Newsmen in Abeokuta, said that the strike was in compliance to the National secretariat directive to begin the strike on Aug.11.
Tajudeen noted that before the decision to embark on the strike, series of meeting had been held with representative of the state government but ended in a deadlock.
”We noticed the short payments in our salaries since October 2020.
“This strike we are embarking is indefinite strike, because on Feb. 24, we gave the state government an ultimatum to pay us our full salaries before the nation-wide strike on autonomy began.
“After the strike, the meeting continued with the government but it not yield any result,” he said.
The JUSUN chairman, however , appealed to the state government to look into the requests of the workers and do the needful.
The courts were under lock and key and nobody is allowed to gain entrance into the court premises.
