Wednesday, September 16, 2026 -The National Industrial Court of Nigeria, NICN, sitting in Abuja, has issued an interim order restraining members of the Judiciary Staff Union of Nigeria, JUSUN, in Nasarawa State from embarking on their planned industrial action.
The order was granted on Tuesday following an
ex-parte application filed by the Nasarawa State Attorney-General and
Commissioner for Justice, Isaac Danladi.
The application followed a seven-day ultimatum issued by
JUSUN to the state government, warning that judicial activities would be shut
down if the union’s demands were not addressed.
The court directed that the restraining order would remain
in force pending the hearing and determination of the motion on notice.
Among the demands by JUSUN are the implementation of the 40
per cent Peculiar Allowance approved by the National Salaries, Incomes and
Wages Commission, NSIWC, full financial autonomy for the state judiciary and a
58.1 per cent salary increase.
The union is also seeking the implementation of outstanding
staff conversions and promotions.
