Striking Judiciary workers lock out Federal High Court judges, lawyers, litigants

The Federal High Court (FHC) Chapter of the Judiciary Staff Union of Nigeria (JUSUN), today, locked out judges, lawyers, staff and litigants from accessing the court following the indefinite strike declared by its national body.
A check at the FHC headquarters located along Shehu Shagari Way in Abuja revealed that all the entrance gates into the high-rise building were under lock.
Judges, staff, lawyers, litigants and members of the public were denied access as business activities in and around the court were paralysed.
JUSUN national body had, on May 30 in a circular by its acting National Secretary, M.J Akwashiki, asked all its chapters’ chairmen to effective from midnight yesterday, Sunday, June 1, direct all their members to stay at home.
It said that, “This directive follows unfruitful meetings in the instance of the Minister of Labour and Employment who was conciliating on our matter.
“We believe that as directed by the organs of the union, National Working Committee (NWC) and National Executive Council (NEC) of our great union, the action will continue until further notice.
“Our demands are for the government to pay us 5 months wage award, implement the %70.000 National Minimum Wage, as well as the 25/35 percent salary increase Solidarity for ever.
”Efforts to have a chat with some of the executive members of the union were unsuccessful as they were said to be on meeting.
Although there were reports that some chapters of the union had backed out from the industrial action, as at 9:48am, the Federal High Court gates were still under lock and keys.
