After sixteen days of shutting down the courts, the Lagos State Chapter of the Judiciary Staff Union of Nigeria has agreed to allow the judiciary offer skeletal services.
This is contained in a communique on its meeting with concerned stakeholders signed by the state chairman, Asiwaju Shobowale Kehinde.
The communique notes that out of the 36 States, only Lagos State Government had shown concern and seriousness with listening ears to the demands of the union.
He therefore directed members of the union to work between Wednesday and Friday of every week, While Monday and Tuesday remained strike days that all members must stay off duty.
According to Asiwaju Kehinde, the ease of the strike days will allow clearance of backlog of cases, reading of judgement and decongestion of prisons occasioned by the COVID-19 pandemic and the EndSARs protest.
