Work resumes in Lagos State High courts today after the executive council of the Judiciary Staff Association of Nigeria (JUSUN) suspended its six-weeks old strike.

Lagos State Chief Judge, Justice Ade Alabi described the suspension of the strike action by the judiciary workers as a good decision which would pave way for a quick reconciliation and resolution of the disagreements.

Speaking through the Director of Protocol and Information of the Lagos State High Court, Magistrate Kikelomo Ayeye, the Chief Judge said, "It is a laudable development. Beside the fact that work resumes now, it will enable those who have urgent matters, especially those who are in custody to resolve their bail and other perennial issues."

Meanwhile, representatives of JUSUN, Federal Ministry of Labour, the representatives of the states Judicial Service Commission are expected to resume negotiation this Wednesday in Abuja to find a lasting solution to the constant strikes action by the judiciary workers.

According to Alhaji Marwan Mustapha Adamu, the national publicity secretary of JUSUN, there are three resolutions agreed upon by the workers and the representatives of the government which paved way to the suspension of the strike action.

Part of the resolution according to him is for the parties to resume talk, while negotiation on their request continues.

Adamu in a telephone interview said " we have not called off the strike, we only suspended action to pave way for negotiations. We hope that after the Wednesday meeting, government will see reason with us and reach an acceptable agreement with us."

He however warned that the failure of the government to accept their request and would make them resume their suspended strike action without hesitation.
