Osun State Governor Ademola Adeleke has commended the Judiciary Workers Union of Nigeria, JUSUN, for calling off its three-month strike action, describing the resolution as a direct outcome of his arbitration.
In a statement by the governor’s spokesperson, Mallam Olawale Rasheed, the Governor was reacting to the reopening of the court system in Osun state, which he noted was due to a series of positive interventions by the executive arm of government.
“We all know the executive should not intervene in judicial matters. We are all aware the issues are centred on human resource management and sundry operational matters. I believed all along that the judicial management in the state should take up the matter.
“This expectation was not fulfilled. So I was compelled to act because the matter was degenerating and negatively affecting the administration of justice in the state.
“At first, I ordered fresh re-payment of the withheld salaries of some judicial staff, hoping this would put an end to the strike. However, the dispute persisted over other issues such as wardrobe allowance and other operational questions.
Governor Adeleke, therefore, appealed to signatories to the agreement to abide by its terms to ensure lasting peace in the judicial sector.
