The Judiciary Staff Union of Nigeria (JUSUN), Nasarawa State Chapter, has suspended its indefinite strike to pave way for negotiation with Government.
State Chairman of the Union, Mas’ud Ubangari, made the declaration on Thursday in Lafia, the State Capital while addressing members of the union.
According to him the suspension of the already one Month old strike was to pave way for the Union and the State government to further negotiate on the demands of the Union.
The Chairman who commended members of the union for their resilience, unity and commitment throughout the period of the strike, said within the window period given, it is expected that the state government will set up a committee to look into their demands, including the implementation of the 51 per cent salary structure for judiciary workers in the area.
According to him “The strike was suspended following a reconciliatory meeting convened at the instance of the Deputy Governor of the state, Emmanuel Akabe, the meeting which had in attendance the National President of JUSUN, Comrade Marwan Mustapha and other critical stakeholders, yielded positive outcome and assurances from government”.
The Chairman who expressed optimism that the State government will meet her promise within the two Weeks window period, called on Members of the Union to resume Work immediately and remain law-abiding pending further directive from the Union leadership.
