Implement â¦70,000 Minimum Wage Or Face Industrial Action, JUSUN Tells FG

The Judiciary Staff Union of Nigeria (JUSUN) has issued a 21-day ultimatum for the commencement of an industrial action over the non-implementation of the new national minimum wage and judiciary financial autonomy, ABN TV reports.
In a communiqué released at the end of its National Executive Council (NEC) meeting held in Abuja, JUSUN commended President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for signing the new minimum wage bill into law, increasing the minimum wage to â¦70,000. However, the union urged the federal government to take more concrete fiscal steps to alleviate the economic hardship faced by Nigerians.
JUSUN also acknowledged state governors who have begun implementing the new minimum wage but urged those yet to comply to do so immediately.
The union expressed dismay over the non-implementation of the national minimum wage, the 25%-35% salary increment since January 2024, and the â¦35,000 wage awards for federal judiciary workers. It called on President Tinubu to ensure the prompt implementation of these payments.
As part of its resolutions, JUSUN issued a 21-day ultimatum starting January 23, 2025, warning that failure to meet its demands would lead to an industrial action by judiciary workers across the country.
Furthermore, the union criticized state governors for failing to implement judiciary financial autonomy despite constitutional provisions and court rulings. JUSUN urged state governments to urgently take necessary actions to uphold judicial independence and safeguard democracy and the rule of law.
