Kaduna Courts Shut Down as Judiciary Workers Begin Indefinite Strike
The Judiciary Staff Union of Nigeria (JUSUN) in Kaduna State has commenced an indefinite strike, leading to the shutdown of courts in the state. The strike is due to the state government's failure to implement financial autonomy for the judiciary, as mandated by the 1999 Constitution.
The union accuses the government of ignoring their demands, including salary payments withheld since April and May 2021, among other issues. The strike is expected to disrupt both criminal and civil proceedings until the government addresses the union's demands.
