The Federal High Court workers in Lagos State on Monday, June 2, 2025, joined their counterparts to embark on a strike called by the Judiciary Staff Union of Nigeria (JUSUN).
The workers were directed to return home by officials of JUSUN, who were seen around the premises.
The union had, on May 30, mandated all its chapters to direct their members to stay at home from June 1.
The union was pressing for payment of a five-month wage award, including the implementation of the N70,000 minimum wage, as well as 25 per cent and 35 per cent salary increases.
Strike: Judiciary workers lock out judges, lawyers
On Monday, staff members of the Federal
High Court in Lagos, as well as lawyers, litigants, and journalists who arrived at the court were denied access.
The strike also affected food vendors at the court premises, who were equally directed to return home.
There were earlier reports of some JUSUN chapters backing out of the strike, but the gates of the Federal High Court in Lagos remained closed.
The strike did not affect the state high courts and magistrates’ courts.
