This decision was made after a meetings with representatives of the Chief Justice of Nigeria, Justice Kudirat Kekere-Ekun.
In a communique signed by all parties involved, JUSUN said the strike was suspended following extensive discussions over the issues that led to the industrial action.
According to the statement, all sides agreed to give the Chief Justice, the Minister of Labour and Employment, Muhammad Dingyadi, the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC), and other stakeholders one month to negotiate and resolve the matter.
Part of the agreement includes urging the Federal Government to release funds to the judiciary within that one-month window.
Once the funds are released, JUSUN’s demands are expected to be implemented immediately.
JUSUN is asking for the payment of the new ₦70,000 minimum wage and its arrears, a 25.35% salary increase, and five months’ worth of unpaid wage awards.
The union said that based on the CJN’s assurances and after careful consideration, it decided to suspend the strike.
Members have now been instructed to resume work on June 4.
