Osun Judicial Staff Union Suspends 3-Month Strike

The Osun State chapter of the Judicial Staff Union of Nigeria (JUSUN) has suspended its three-month strike action, which was embarked upon over the delay in promotions and other entitlements.

Announcing the suspension in a release issued in Osogbo on Monday, shortly after a meeting convened by the Director, Department of State Security Service, the chairman of Osun JUSUN, Comrade Idris Adedayo Adeniran, said the Judicial Service Commission (JSC) has rectified the promotion of junior staff for 2024, among others.

His words: “As a result of the progress made so far in resolving the industrial dispute between members of the Judiciary Staff Union of Nigeria (JUSUN) and the management in Osun State Judiciary, the National Secretariat, led by our esteemed National President, Comrade Marwan Mustapha Adamu, has granted us the approval to suspend the ongoing industrial action.

“This decision was taken to allow for the conclusion of all pending matters, and it has been unanimously agreed upon by JUSUN members in the State at the Congress held at the High Courts’ premises today, 15/12/2025.

“In light of this development, I, Comrade Idris Adedayo Adeniran, JUSUN Chairman, Osun State, hereby declare that the strike action embarked upon by the Judiciary Staff Union of Nigeria, Osun State Branch, since September 19, 2025, is suspended forthwith.

“The suspension will take effect from December 16, 2025, to enable members to appear before the Judicial Service Commission (JSC) for the 2024 promotion exercise and to allow the management of the three sections of Osun State Judiciary to officially submit the list of 2025 promotions, which will be attended to on Wednesday, 17th December, 2025”.

He, however, contended that the suspension would be temporary, enabling management to organise and clear the backlog of work in all the courts of the Osun State Judiciary.

Recall that JUSUN embarked on the strike action on September 19, 2025.
