US EditionGov Adeleke Rejects Blame in Ongoing JUSUN Strike
Governor Adeleke denies causing the judiciary strike, attributing the paralysis to the Chief Judge’s failure to convene commission meetings and implement agreements, the government said.
- On Tuesday in Osogbo, Osun State Governor Ademola Adeleke denied responsibility for the Judicial Staff Union of Nigeria strike, calling the claims inaccurate and reaffirming his commitment to constitutional governance and the rule of law.
- The government said the paralysis stemmed from the Chief Judge's refusal to convene Judicial Service Commission meetings or implement the Tripartite Memorandum of Agreement, citing March 2024 and July 2024 letters.
- JUSUN began an indefinite strike on September 22, 2025 after disagreements with the Chief Judge, following a tripartite agreement and Governor Adeleke’s intervention on February 6, 2024.
- The government challenged the Chief Judge and the NBA to produce evidence of JSC meetings, urging the Chief Judge to `do the right thing` amid concern over the Osun State judiciary shutdown.
- An attempted convening was thwarted when High Court premises in Osun State were locked, Justice Oyebola Adepele Ojo reportedly travelled abroad at the strike onset, and government-appointed JSC members showed willingness at a November 17, 2023 emergency meeting.
