Governor Wike Asks Rivers State Judiciary To Call-Off National Strike Immediately

TRIXX NG  reports that the governor of Rivers state, Nyesom Wike has asked the Rivers state chapter of JUSUN to call off its strike immediately.

The governor explained that the financial autonomy which the national body of the association is fighting for has been implemented in Rivers state long ago and he sees no need for a strike in Rivers state.

He made it known that the fact that other states have not implemented it should not hold other states wanting, while asking that all the courts in Rivers state be opened

My position concerning the JUSUN strike in Rivers State is simple. Rivers State has painstakingly implementing financial autonomy for the State's Judiciary. We shouldn't suffer solidarity strikes because other states are not implementing same. pic.twitter.com/BWRiAvhpZG

Non implementing states can be held to task but there is really no reason for a solidarity strike or protest in Rivers State, I used the opportunity to request for Rivers State's JUSUN to call off their strike and open the courts in Rivers State. pic.twitter.com/231qP5YmAq
