The Judiciary Staff Union of Nigeria (JUSUN) has commended Edo State Governor, Senator Monday Okpebholo, for approving the release of withheld salaries owed to judiciary workers in the state.
In a letter of appreciation signed by its National President, Marwan Mustapha Adamu, and addressed to the Governor, the Union described the decision as a profound demonstration of empathy, fairness, and responsive leadership.
The Union noted that the gesture has not only brought immense relief to its members but has also restored their confidence in the state government’s commitment to workers’ welfare.
“This gesture has not only brought great relief to us but has also rekindled our trust and confidence in your leadership’s commitment to the welfare of staff,” the letter read. “By addressing this long-standing challenge, you have demonstrated empathy, fairness, and responsiveness, qualities which will continue to inspire greater dedication and productivity in service delivery.”
The National Working Committee (NWC) of JUSUN further acknowledged the governor’s intervention as a deliberate effort to prioritize the well-being of judiciary workers and strengthen faith in government institutions.
Reassuring the governor of its loyalty and continued support, the Union stated: “We sincerely appreciate your intervention and assure you of our continued support, loyalty, and commitment to the ideals of your office as the Executive Governor of Edo State.”
JUSUN also emphasized that Governor Okpebholo’s action goes beyond the settlement of financial obligations, describing it as a symbolic step towards promoting industrial harmony and enhancing service delivery within the judiciary.
