Judiciary Staff Union of Nigeria (JUSUN) members enforcing its indefinite nationwide strike, which begins on Tuesday have evicted court staff from the Federal High Court in Ikoyi, Lagos.
According to reports, the unionists arrived at the court premises before 9 am and directed their colleagues in courtrooms and offices to comply with the industrial action.

“Therefore, as a result of the public holiday on April 5, 2021, the strike action has been postponed to Tuesday, April 6, 2021.”
