Osun NLC backs JUSUN strike, faults JSC on workers’ neglect.
The Osun State Council of the Nigeria Labour Congress, NLC, has thrown its weight behind the ongoing industrial action by the Judicial Staff Union of Nigeria, JUSUN, Osun State Chapter.
In a statement issued on Thursday, the NLC urged the Osun State Judicial Service Commission, JSC, to prioritise the welfare of judiciary workers in accordance with existing policies and commitments.
The statement which was signed by the NLC Chairperson, Christopher Abimbola Arapasopo, described JUSUN’s grievances as legitimate and long overdue, citing consistent neglect and administrative insensitivity as reasons for the strike.
According to Arapasopo, the demands of JUSUN include the implementation of pending promotions and entitlements for 2024 and 2025, the restoration of imprest and statutory allowances, sponsorship of staff training at the National Judicial Institute, NJI, and the provision of official and utility vehicles to boost productivity.
“It is regrettable that judiciary workers continue to face neglect despite their critical role in the administration of justice. Their welfare must not be treated with indifference or delay,” the statement said.
The Congress expressed concern over what it termed the indifference of the Honourable Chief Judge and Chairman of the JSC, Justice Oyebola Adepele Ojo, calling for immediate intervention from relevant authorities to prevent further deterioration of the situation.
“It is disheartening that workers in ministries and other agencies on the same grade levels as judiciary staff have received their 2024 and even 2025 promotion letters, with corresponding salary adjustments, while judiciary workers continue to lag behind. This is grossly unfair and unacceptable,” the statement read.
The NLC also cautioned against a growing culture of impunity and abuse of office within the judicial arm, warning that such actions undermine staff morale and institutional credibility.
