It reads further: “Sequel to the circular of Industrial Action from the National Headquarters of JUSUN for its members at the Federal Judiciary level, to proceed on a strike action on Monday the 2nd day of June, 2025, a series of meetings was held.
“These meetings were between JUSUN of various Federal Judicial Bodies, Minister of Labour, and other stakeholders from the Judiciary as mandated by the Honourable Chief Justice of Nigeria.
