Magistrates in Cross River State, under the Magistrates Association of Nigeria (MAN), have commenced an indefinite strike effective Wednesday, November 27, 2024.
The strike follows the state government’s failure to address their demands, which include implementing promotions and improving welfare and working conditions.
A bulletin jointly signed by MAN Chairman Godwin Onah and Secretary General Solomon Abuo confirmed the action, stating that an earlier warning strike and deadline extension had yielded no results.
“All magistrates across the state are to ensure effective compliance by all staff of their courts. Solidarity forever,” the bulletin read.
The strike coincides with an ongoing warning strike by organized labor in the state, intensifying concerns about the state’s labor relations.
