The Chief Justice of Nigeria CJN, Justice Ibrahim Tanko
Muhammad, has again passionately pleaded with the striking judiciary workers in
the country to accept federal government offer and call off their indefinite
nationwide strike.
Justice Mohammed call followed a meeting held with him by
the Minister of Labour and Employment, Chris Ngige on Tuesday at the Supreme
Court Complex over the ongoing strike embarked upon by the Judiciary Staff
Union of Nigeria (JUSUN) to demand for financial autonomy for the Judiciary in
the country.
Upon being briefed by the Minister on the negotiation level
so far, the CJN requested the JUSUN to call off the strike in the interest of
the nation and the larger interest of justice.
The CJN added that it would also allow opportunity for further negations towards the resolution of the dispute.
Besides, the CJN observed that some of the issues in
contention are already sub-judice, as such there is need to give requisite
legal process enough opportunity to be exhausted.
The CJN position was contained in a statement by Malam
Ahuraka Yusuf Isah, the Senior Special Assistant (on Media) to the CJN.
