The Judiciary Staff Union of Nigeria in Ondo State has started an industrial action due to the state government's alleged failure to implement agreements reached with the union.
The strike follows the expiration of a seven-day ultimatum issued on June 4, 2025, and the government's lack of response to address the unmet demands outlined in a 2015 Memorandum of Understanding.
The union is seeking Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa's implementation of the agreement, particularly regarding judicial financial autonomy and the release of funds to the state judiciary.
The statement read, “This decision follows the expiration of the seven-day ultimatum issued to the government of Ondo State on June 4, 2025.
“We perceived the lack of response from the government to address the reneged parts of the agreements outlined in the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) signed on May 20, 2015.
“This MoU contains the release of funds to the Ondo State judiciary by the state government in line with judiciary financial autonomy.
“We, therefore, direct all our members to stay off duty starting from today, June 13, 2025, till further directive, and to adhere strictly to the industrial action guidelines.”
