The resolution followed a high-level meeting between a government delegation and the State Executive Committee of JUSUN at the Attorney-General’s Chamber on February 23, 2026, according to Commissioner for Information, Ahmed Maiyaki.
Key issues addressed included the implementation of financial autonomy for the state judiciary, salary adjustments tied to the new minimum wage, payment of outstanding salary arrears for April and May 2021, and settlement of leave grant arrears.
The meeting concluded positively, with all matters amicably resolved under the directive of Governor Uba Sani. The Attorney-General and Commissioner for Justice, Dr. James Kanyip, described the engagement as fruitful, emphasizing that the outcome reflects the governor’s commitment to industrial harmony and enhanced productivity in the public service.
The resolution is expected to strengthen collaboration between the executive and judiciary while ensuring uninterrupted justice delivery. The state government also commended the JUSUN leadership for its cooperation and urged all judiciary workers to return to duty immediately in the interest of public service and the administration of justice in Kaduna State.
