Adeleke Seeks Resolution Of Osun Judiciary Strike Action

Governor Ademola Adeleke of Osun State has called for the amicable resolution of the ongoing strike action by the State Chapter of the Judiciary Staff Union of Nigeria.

The governor made the call on Wednesday while playing host to a delegation of the national leadership of the judicial union led by its President, Comrade Mustapha Adamu.

A statement by the spokesperson to the Governor, Olawale Rasheed, on Wednesday indicated the governor’s unhappiness caused by the hold-up in the state justice administration due to the industrial action.

The statement revealed some of the interventions undertaken by the Governor to resolve the strike including the payments of the withheld salaries of some judicial workers and negotiations with the union on their wardrobe allowances.

“I thank you for visiting Osun State. We value your interventions. I have tried to address some of the issues, but most of them are not within my purview. Your presence in Osun will speed up the resolution efforts.

“As the national body, help us interface with all the parties to find amicable resolutions. You have my full support for this assignment “, the Governor told the team.

Responding, the JUSUN national president described the industrial action and the protracted paralysis of the Osun judiciary as ‘unfortunate’, citing his previous sickness as responsible for his late intervention.

“We are in Osun state to find a lasting solution. I will meet all stakeholders, and I assure Mr Governor that industrial peace would soon be restored to the state judiciary”, the National President who was accompanied by his national officers noted.
