The Judiciary Staff Union of Nigeria (JUSUN) has issued a seven-day ultimatum to the Nigerian government, demanding the full implementation of the new national minimum wage and other benefits for judicial staff.
Failure to meet these demands will lead to an indefinite strike beginning on February 20, 2025.
The ultimatum, effective from Thursday, February 13, 2025, and expiring on February 19, 2025, follows the expiration of a previous 21-day notice that was ignored by the government.
The workers are calling for the implementation of the N77,000 minimum wage for judicial staff, despite other public sector workers already receiving the new wage.

AFTER exhaustive deliberations, the following resolution was reached. That additional seven (7) days’ notice is hereby given for the full implementation of the subject matter in line with relevant guidelines covering industrial dispute and the urgent intervention of the Hon, the Chief Justice of Nigeria, Hon, Justice Kudirat Motonmori Olatokunbo Kekere-Ekun (GCON).”
