Read Time:1 Minute, 22 Second
Members of the Cross River State chapter of the Magistrates Association of Nigeria have gone on indefinite strike, effective Wednesday, November 27, 2024.
The strike coincides with the state’s organized labor movement launching a warning strike.
Magistrates have stated that the strike will continue until the government complies with their demands.
They contend that the government has not implemented their promotions or taken care of their general well-being or working conditions.
The strike action was verified in a bulletin dated Wednesday, November 27, 2024, jointly signed by Solomon Abuo, the association’s secretary general, and Godwin Onah, its chairman.
It reads in part, “Sequel to our communique issued on November 5, 2024, arising from the general meeting wherein eight demands were made from the Government of Cross River State.
“Furthermore, sequel to our letter to the Governor of Cross River State dated November 11, 2024, wherein the notice of strike, was extended to Friday, November 22, 2024, to enable the state government to attend to our demands, and having failed to do so till date, we hereby issue this bulletin.
“In line therefore with our congress resolution to proceed on a warning strike, a three-day warning strike is hereby declared by the state chapter of the Magistrates Association of Nigeria (MAN), in the first instance effective from 6 am of Wednesday, November 27, 2024, to Friday, November 29, 2024. And the failure of the state government to meet our demands, an indefinite strike shall be embarked upon until all our demands are fully met.
“All magistrates across the state are to ensure effective compliance by all staff of their courts. Solidarity forever.”
