The Judiciary Staff Union of Nigeria (JUSUN), Ondo State Branch, has begun an indefinite strike over non-implementation of financial autonomy by the state government.
The strike commenced on June 13, 2025, following the expiration of a seven-day ultimatum issued to the government 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,” the State Secretary of JUSUN, Mr. Kehinde Alade, stated.
“The MoU contains the release of funds to the Ondo State Judiciary by the state government in line with judiciary financial autonomy,” he added.
The union directed all its members to stay off duty starting from June 13, 2025, till further directive, and to adhere strictly to the industrial action guidelines.
The union urged the government to take immediate action to fulfill its obligations and implement the MoU to avoid further consequences.
