The Judiciary Staff Union of Nigeria (JUSUN) has issued a seven-day ultimatum to the Federal Government to implement the new national minimum wage along with additional benefits, otherwise they shall embark on an indefinite strike.
The deadline was announced in a communiqué released on Wednesday following an emergency meeting at the JUSUN Secretariat in Abuja.
JUSUN had previously issued a 21-day ultimatum for the government to respond to their demands, but no action was taken during that time frame.
The seven-day countdown commences on Thursday, February 13, 2025, and concludes on February 19, 2025.
JUSUN has cautioned that if the Federal Government fails to address their requests within this period, an indefinite strike will commence on February 20, 2025.
The union is insisting on the full implementation of the new national minimum wage of ₦77,000 and other benefits for judicial personnel.
JUSUN has been in conflict with the Federal Government regarding the non-implementation of the new minimum wage for judicial workers, while other public sector employees have already started receiving the updated wage.
JUSUN has urged the Federal Government to act swiftly to prevent a disruption of judicial activities nationwide.
