Courts Resume In Ibadan, As JUSUN/PASAN Call Off Strike

Following the suspension of the industrial action by members of the Judiciary Staff Union of Nigeria, JUSUN and the Parliamentary Staff Association of Nigeria, PASAN, judicial activities have resumed in some courts visited in Ibadan.

At the State High Court, Ring Road, courts were opened for cases while other rooms for judicial and administrative events were opened.

At Court Four, sittings were held while three sittings were held in Court Five of the State High Court, Ring Road in Ibadan.

One of the court officials, Mrs Kehinde Olalere said the court sat as expected, adding that complainants were already approaching the courts for new dates on pending cases.

Our correspondent who visited some federal courts along new Adeoyo road, in Ibadan, reports that the situation was not different as some sittings were held on some cases at National Industrial Court as confirmed by the court’s JUSUN representative, Mr Festus Ajiboro.

Mr Ajiboro expressed optimism that the union’s demands would be met as government had already set up a committee to look into them.

JUSUN members began their strike on April 6, demanding for financial autonomy, salary increment among other issues.
