The judiciary staff in Osun on Monday returned to work following the suspension of the three-month strike embarked upon by the state chapter of the Judiciary Staff Union of Nigeria.
The News Agency of Nigeria reports that Judiciary workers in the state had embarked on strike in November 2023 to press for better conditions of service, among other demands.
A visit to the High Court Complex on the Osogbo-Ilobu Road by NAN showed that in compliance with the directive of its executive to resume on March 7, workers were seen entering the court complex as early as 7:30 am.
Also, some artisans were seen cutting overgrown grass and cleaning courtrooms and other offices, while a few lawyers were sighted driving in and out of the premises, which accommodates both Magistrate and high courts.
A staff who did not want his name published said that the courts would not be sitting today because of the level of cleaning needed to be done and other arrangements.
He commanded the union for putting the interest of its members at the forefront which has led to some drastic changes.
”I want to thank our union for fighting on our behalf; it was worth it,” he said.
