The Judiciary Staff Union of Nigeria (JUSUN), Kwara State Chapter, has given the state government seven days to implement the Consolidated Judicial Salary Structure (CONJUSS) or face an indefinite strike.
In a strongly worded letter addressed to Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq on August 18, 2025, the union expressed deep frustration over what it described as “long-standing neglect” of judiciary workers’ welfare. The letter, signed by JUSUN chairman, Habeer A. Yusuf, noted that earlier communications — including one acknowledged on May 30 and another reminder on July 8 — were ignored by the government.
Yusuf said it was unacceptable for the government to keep denying judiciary workers their rights and the financial autonomy that would guarantee the independence of the courts. According to him, patience has run out and the workers are ready to take a stand.
The union warned that if their demands are not met by Monday, August 25, judicial activities across Kwara will be completely shut down. This, they said, would not only paralyze court proceedings but also disrupt the entire justice system in the state.
“Our members have been patient for too long. The government’s silence is unfair and demoralizing,” the statement read. “We will not back down until CONJUSS is fully implemented. An indefinite strike will begin if the government fails to act within seven days.”
