The Federal Government has signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the Judicial Staff Union of Nigeria and the Parliamentary Staff Association of Nigeria in its bid to resolve the strike by the unions.

This followed a meeting between the government and the leaders of the unions presided over by the Minister of Labour and Employment, CHRIS NGIGE in Abuja, the nation’s capital.

At the end of the meeting, both parties signed an agreement asking state governments to commence the implementation of financial autonomy to the states.

Briefing news men at the end of the meeting, the minister said he is hopeful that the workers would call off the strike as soon as their accounts were credited when the April federal allocations are shared.

He assured Nigerians, especially those who have pending court cases that there is a renewed hope that the industrial action would soon be suspended.
