Abia State Government has signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the Judiciary Staff Union of Nigeria (JUSUN) over welfare and salaries for Workers

This followed the conclusion of negotiations between the Abia State Government and the Judiciary Staff Union of Nigeria (JUSUN) on Thursday.

In a statement signed by Prince Okey Kanu, the Commissioner for Information revealed that JUSUN will convene a congress as soon as possible to officially call off the strike.

According to Kanu, consequent upon the signing of the Memorandum of Understanding between both parties, all differences in the implementation of the Consolidated Judicial Salary Structure (CONJUSS) have been resolved.

The statement also announced that the agreed additional amount to be paid to JUSUN is being processed for remittance.

The government therefore expects that the ongoing strike action be called off immediately to pave the way for the reopening of our courts.
