Oyo Judicial Workers Comply To Sit-At-Home Directive By JUSUN

The Judiciary workers in Oyo State have complied with the sit-at-home directive issued by the Judiciary Staff Union of Nigeria (JUSUN) over the delay in payment of July salary.

Mr. Obafunso Okulaja, the Oyo State JUSUN Public Relations Officer, confirmed it on Tuesday

According to him, the decision to sit at home was reached after the union’s congress on Friday. He explained that the workers had not received July salary while other government agencies in the state were paid on July 25.

“Our members do not have money to come to work so we directed them to sit at home. JUSUN is yet to receive July salary in the state and this delay in salary payment has been like this since December 2021.

“We call on the state government to put us on the priority list as the third arm of the government. If the executive and legislative arms are given priority, the judiciary should also be given the same.

“The sit-at-home will continue until we receive our July salary,” he said.
