Coalition Wants End To Judiciary Staff Strike In Osun

Osun Civil Societies Coalition (OCSC) has called for immediate negotiations to resolve the ongoing industrial action by the Judiciary Staff Union of Nigeria (JUSUN), Osun State branch.

The coalition, in a statement signed by the chairman, Comrade Waheed Lawal, urged the state Chief Judge, the Judicial Service Commission (JSC), and the leadership of JUSUN to return to negotiation without any delay.

They also urged the Osun State Government and the Nigerian Bar Association, Osogbo Branch, to provide moral and administrative support for a neutral mediation platform, in accordance with Section 5(2) of the Trade Disputes Act, aimed at restoring industrial harmony within the judiciary.

Lawal, who lamented the impact of the protracted strike on litigants and the general public of Osun, insisted that the people of Osun deserve a functional, fair, and responsive justice system.
