The Judiciary Staff Union of Nigeria (JUSUN) has expressed strong discontent over the continued failure to implement financial autonomy for the judiciary by state governors.
At its recent National Executive Council (NEC) meeting in Abuja, JUSUN outlined its positions on several salient issues in a communique.
Regarding removal of fuel subsidies, JUSUN endorsed the Nigeria Labour Congress’ stance, critiquing the lack of adequate preparation by the Federal Government.
On the National Salaries, Incomes and Wages Commission’s circular on peculiar allowances for judiciary staff, JUSUN lauded this development. It urged the National Judicial Council to implement the circular to ensure industrial harmony.
However, JUSUN lambasted the non-implementation of judiciary financial autonomy by governors, despite constitutional provisions, court judgments, and repeated demands.
Consequently, JUSUN issued a 21-day ultimatum for full implementation of judiciary financial autonomy. It warned that failure to comply could disrupt industrial harmony in states.
