Rivers State Judiciary Staff Strike Continues


JUDICIARY staff in Rivers State, yesterday, vowed to continue with their strike until the crisis between the National Judicial Council, NJC and the Rivers State Government was resolved.
National Publicity Secretary of Judiciary Staff Union of Nigeria, JUSUN, Mr. Kayode Igbarago, who spoke to newsmen in Port Harcourt, said the local chapter of the body was in order when it declared a strike over the conflict between the state government and NJC over the issue of Chief Judge of the state.
He said the national chapter of the body will meet soon to look into the ongoing strike by the state chapter.
He charged the state government and the NJC to resolve the crisis so that judiciary workers can call off the strike, noting that it would not be possible for the workers to serve two masters at the same time.
He said: “JUSUN has further endorsed the on-going strike in Rivers State Judiciary because it followed due process and in line with JUSUN constitution, adding that the strike as endorsed by the National Executive Council remains.
“We are saying that we have a duty to protect the rights of our workers. Rivers State Government and the NJC should settle their differences before any judiciary worker will go to work. He who must come to equity must come with clean hands.”
