Anambra Judiciary Staff Union of Nigeria Begins Indefinite Strike Over Unpaid CONJUS

The Anambra State chapter of the Judiciary Staff Union of Nigeria (JUSUN) began an indefinite strike today Monday due to the state government's refusal to pay the Consolidated Judiciary Salary Structure (CONJUS).

A NAN correspondent visited the High Courts at Ekwueme Square, Chief Magistrate’s Courts, and Customary Courts in Amawbia, Awka, and reported no court proceedings. The premises were empty, with no magistrates, judges, or staff present, except for security personnel.

Lawyers and litigants were turned away as entrance gates were locked. Mr. Henry Ezeoke, the State Chairman of JUSUN, told NAN that the indefinite strike protest is due to the state government's failure to adhere to agreements made in 2011 and 2015.
