The Judiciary Staff Union of Nigeria (JUSUN) is set to join the nationwide protests declared by the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) and the Trade Union Congress (TUC). They plan to shut down all courts starting midnight on Sunday to demand action from the government on issues including the new National Minimum Wage and electricity tariff hikes. The decision follows the expiration of negotiations for a new minimum wage and the government’s failure to consult stakeholders on electricity tariff increases. The strike announcement was made jointly by the TUC and NLC in Abuja. The JUSUN General Secretary, Comrade M. J Akwashiki, issued a statement urging strict compliance with the directive. The strike aims to pressure the government into agreeing on a new minimum wage, reversing electricity tariff hikes, and addressing other grievances. The mobilization effort involves vice presidents monitoring compliance across different regions. This development aligns with ongoing protests nationwide over various socio-economic issues.
