The National President of the Judiciary Staff Union of Nigeria, JUSUN, Marwan Adamu, has indicated a willingness to engage in dialogue with the judiciary management in Osun State regarding the industrial action embarked upon by the state chapter.
The Osun JUSUN Chairman, Comrade Idris Adedayo Adeniran, made this disclosure in a statement issued and made available to DAILY POST after the union’s monthly congress in Osogbo on Monday.
According to Adeniran, Adamu also expressed openness to meeting and discussing the pressing issues affecting Osun JUSUN members.
He disclosed that the JUSUN president stated that resolving the strike depended on whether the judiciary management in the state was genuinely committed to finding a resolution to the impasse.
The statement reads, “The National President of JUSUN has extended an olive branch, indicating a willingness to engage in dialogue with the Judiciary management. He has expressed openness to meeting and discussing the pressing issues affecting our members, provided that the management is genuinely committed to finding a resolution.”
While condemning the Osun State Chief Judge, Justice Oyebola Adepele Ojo, for her indifference towards the ongoing JUSUN strike, Adeniran commended the Osun State Council of the Nigerian Labour Congress, NLC, and the leadership of the Nigerian Bar Association, NBA, for their tireless efforts to resolve the industrial action.
“The Congress vehemently condemns the Honorable Chief Judge’s egregious display of indifference to the ongoing JUSUN strike. Her abrupt departure from the state on the strike’s commencement day, coupled with her persistent absence from the state, demonstrates a shocking lack of commitment to engaging with JUSUN leadership.
“Instead of addressing the pressing concerns of judiciary staff, lawyers, and the general public, Her Lordship has chosen to travel abroad. This blatant disregard for the welfare of those who serve the judiciary and the public they serve is unacceptable.
“We appreciate Comrade Christopher Abimbola Arapasopo, Chairman, NLC Osun State, for standing with us during this tough time. Your support and commitment to justice and fairness inspire us. We are honoured to have you as an ally.
“Thanks for championing workers’ rights and welfare. We are proud to have you as a partner. We also thank the leadership of NBA for their tireless efforts to resolve the ongoing JUSUN strike,” the statement added.
The congress also condemned attempts by the judiciary management to use JUSUN members as security guards.
While insisting that such a practice is unacceptable, the congress affirmed that members were not employed as security personnel and that their concerns must be addressed accordingly.
DAILY POST had earlier reported that Osun JUSUN embarked on an indefinite strike on September 19, 2025, to demand timely 2024 and 2025 promotions as well as improved welfare for its members.
