Ondo judiciary workers suspend strike

News Update

THE Coalition of Magistrates, Presidents of Grade A Customary Courts and Legal Research Officers of Ondo State Judiciary has suspended its two-week-old strike.

This was disclosed in a statement jointly signed by the coalition’s leaders, O. Edwin and Segun Rotiba, on Tuesday. They said that the suspension followed a series of meetings and an agreement.

”Consequent upon the withdrawal of services by members of the above coalition, there were a series of meetings and engagements with the executive arm of government over the immediate demands of the coalition and the issue of financial autonomy for the Ondo state judiciary.

“The engagements were conducted by critical stakeholders, including the coalition, JUSUN, and the government. All pressing issues of official cars for magistrates, presidents of Grade A Customary Courts, and the new salary structure for magistrates, presidents, and legal research officers were considered.

“After a painstaking but realistic agreement on all issues, the demonstration of good faith, commitment towards immediate implementation of autonomy for Ondo state judiciary and other demands raised in our letter, we hereby suspend the withdrawal of services and direct our members to resume work immediately,” the statement noted.

The coalition appreciated members for their commitment, the JUSUN executive for their strategic cooperation, lawyers for their understanding, and the general public for their patience.
