Osun CJ Neglecting Staff Welfare – JUSUN
- As Strike Enters Third Week
- Urges NBA Intervention To End Judiciary Strike
The Osun State chapter of the Judiciary Staff Union of Nigeria (JUSUN) has criticised the response of the state Chief Judge, Justice Oyebola Adepele Ojo, to its ongoing strike, describing it as “not encouraging”.
The union, which embarked on the industrial action on September 19, 2025, is demanding that the Judicial Service Commission address promotion for staff members for 2024 and 2025. JUSUN is also calling for staff participation in capacity-building and training programmes at the National Judicial Institute, among other welfare measures.
Chairman of JUSUN in Osun, Idris Adeniyan, said in a statement on Tuesday in Osogbo that the Chief Judge had refused to engage with the union leadership regarding the strike.
“Her lordship’s abrupt departure from the state on the day the strike commenced without any step to resolve the issue is not encouraging,” Adesiyan said.
He added that the lack of dialogue is detrimental to both union members and the general public.
The union has scheduled a meeting with the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA) in Osun for today to discuss possible resolutions to the ongoing industrial actions. They also commended members for their full compliance with the strike.
The strike, now in its third week, continues to disrupt judicial operations in the state. JUSUN presses for improved welfare and career development opportunities for judiciary staff.
