Shut down all Courts nationwide, JUSUN directs Judiciary workers

THE Judiciary Staff Union of Nigeria (JUSUN) has directed her members across the country to shutdown all courts and judicial activities in compliance with the natiowide strike declared by the organised Labour over a new minimum wage demand.

President of JUSUN, Comrade Marwan Mustapha Adamu while given the directive early Wednesday morning, said effective from midnight on Wednesday, all courts in the country must remain closed, pending a counter instruction from the national Secretariat of the union.

Comrade Mustapha said: “As an affiliate of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC), all members of JUSUN are to stay at home from Wednesday midnight, 26th September, 2018. Also, all Courts are expected to remain shut until further directive from the national Secretariat of our great union.
