<p data-sourcepos="3:1-3:315">The <strong>Judiciary Staff Union of Nigeria (JUSUN)</strong> has issued a seven-day ultimatum to the <strong>Federal Government</strong>, demanding the implementation of the new national <strong>minimum wage</strong> and other benefits for judicial workers.</p>
<p data-sourcepos="3:1-3:315">The union has warned of an indefinite strike commencing on February 20, 2025, if their demands are not met.</p>
<p data-sourcepos="5:1-5:231">In an emergency meeting held on Wednesday, JUSUN announced the ultimatum, giving the government until February 19, 2025, to address their concerns. This action follows a previous 21-day ultimatum that was ignored by the government.</p>
<p data-sourcepos="7:1-7:193">JUSUN has expressed frustration over the government’s failure to implement the new minimum wage for judicial workers, while other public sector employees have already received the updated pay.</p>
<p><em>“The meeting principally centered on the expiration of the twenty-one (21) day ultimatum issued to all Heads of Federal Courts, FCT Courts, and Judicial Bodies.</em></p>
<p><em>“That after exhaustive deliberations, the following resolution was reached. That an additional seven (7) days’ notice is hereby given for the full implementation of the subject matter in line with relevant guidelines governing industrial disputes and the urgent intervention of the Hon. Chief Justice of Nigeria, Hon. Justice Kudirat Motonmori Olatokunbo Kekere-Ekun.</em></p>
<p><em>“That the seven (7) days commence on Thursday, February 13, 2025, and ends on Wednesday, February 19, 2025.</em></p>
<p><em>“That failure to implement our demands within this stipulated time frame will mean the union cannot guarantee industrial harmony. Consequently, the strike will commence indefinitely from Thursday, February 20, 2025,” </em>the statement reads.</p>
