Magistrates in Cross River State have notified the state government of their intentions to embark on a warning strike for two weeks. The Magistrates said the strike would hold if within seven days the state government does not effect promotions of magistrates and other sundry demands.
Magistrates Association of Nigeria, MAN, Cross River State chapter, in a communique, threatened to withdraw their services effective from November 13, 2024. They warned that they would subsequently embark on an indefinite strike action. The Magistrate’s Association issued the warning in a communique signed by its Chairman of MAN, Godwin Onah and the General Secretary, Solomon Abuo, at the end of their congress on Tuesday.
The Magistrates claimed the amount was grossly inadequate to cater for office stationery and other logistics, lamenting that, their counterparts in neighbouring states receive between N200,000 to N250,000 monthly imprest. They demanded an immediate implementation of promotions and regularization of Magistrates in the state with necessary financial benefits across all cadres as well as the implementation of all accrued arrears.
