The Judiciary Staff Union of Nigeria, Osun Chapter, has called off its industrial strike which commenced on November 22, 2023.
A statement by the JUSUN Chairman in Osun, Oluwagbenga Eludire on Tuesday in Osogbo, directed its members to resume work on March 11.
The strike by the union followed alleged seizures of its members’ wardrobe allowance, suspension of some colleagues, and the Chief Judge’s refusal to lift embargo on workers’ training.

Eludire said suspension of the strike was premised on the tripartite agreement between the Osun government, Management of the Osun Judiciary and JUSUN.
He said that one of the terms of the memorandum of understanding signed was that the Judiciary Service Commission would convene a meeting within seven days of suspension of the strike to ensure that other demands of the union are met.
”The Commission is to attend to other demands of the union to include regularisation and promotion of all qualified staff.
“Also, there shall be no form of intimidation of judiciary officers or members of JUSUN for participating in the just suspended strike,” Eludire said.
The union, the chairman said, appreciated Governor Ademola Adeleke and speaker of the Osun Assembly, Rt. Hon. Wale Egbedun for their invaluable support in calling off the strike.
”The union appreciates the state government, speaker of the Osun House of Assembly for calling back our members who were suspended for close to five years and paying off their salaries.
”I hereby suspend the strike embarked on on November 22, 2023 while members are directed to resume work March 11 .”
