This move is to enable state governors to comply with agreements reached on direct transfer of the workers’ funds to court heads as against the previous practice.
The workers took the decision during its National Executive Council (NEC) meeting after Chief Justice of Nigeria (CJN), Justice Ibrahim Muhammad, and some other court head, prevailed on the JUSUN leaders to end the strike that had crippled legal proceedings across the country.
