The Judiciary Staff Union of Nigeria, (JUSUN) Osun State chapter, has relaxed its ongoing strike to allow staff of the Judicial Service Commission, JSC, attend a scheduled meeting with commission officials after 81 days.

It would recalled that the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA) Branches in Osun State had appealed to Governor Ademola Adeleke to intervene in the prolonged strike by the Judiciary Staff Union of Nigeria (JUSUN).

Osun Spring recalled that the Osun State Governmen distanced Governor Ademola Adeleke from the paralysis of judicial activities in the state, insisting that the crisis was caused by the alleged refusal of the Chief Judge, Adepele Ojo to convene statutory meetings of the Judicial Service Commission (JSC) for nearly two years.

However, the union, in a statement on Wednesday, signed by its chairman, Comrade Adedayo Adeniran said that the relaxation is subject to approval by JUSUN Congress and its national leadership that will last between the period December 11 to 24, 2025.

Adeniran confirmed that the Chief Judge of Osun State, Justice Adepele Bola Ojo, has agreed to reconvene discussions with the JSC to address the issues raised

The statement read apart, “the meeting, fixed for 11 December at the Conference Room of the High Court of Justice in Osogbo, will focus on JUSUN’s demands on staff promotion and welfare.

“We appreciate the commitment of the Honourable Chief Judge to engage with the JSC on our behalf and look forward to a positive outcome,” the union said.

Adeniran reiterated that its demands remain legitimate, reasonable, and long overdue and emphasised that its members would continue to push until the issues are resolved.

He expressed appreciation to union members for their unwavering support, trust and loyalty during the industrial action.
