The staff of the industrial court shouts of poor well -being, wage disparity, looking for Tinubu, CJN’s intervention

A member of the staff of the National Industrial Court of Nigeria (Nicn) launched the alarm for what described as a worsening of working conditions, a poor well -being and unjust salary disparities within the institution, asking President Bola Tinubu and Chief Justice of Nigeria (CJN) to intervene urgently.

In a strongly formulated petition entitled “A Cry for Justice: The Dalghy of Staff at the National Industrial Court of Nigeria”, the staff member identified as his partner Eko accused the direction of the Court of closing a blindness to the rights and protections that was established to support.

According to the worker, while the employees of other federal courts recently received substantial wage adjustments, Nicn’s staff has undergone much lower increases without justification. The disparity, he said, reflects a deeper model of abandonment, frustration and systemic injustice within the judicial system.

“The National Industrial Court, constitutionally authorized to defend the rights of workers, has now become a violator of the same rights,” complained his partner Eko. “Ironically, the institution accused of the responsibility of resolving the disputes of work now submits their employees to inhuman working conditions, bad well -being and complete contempt for their well -being.”

The staff member also said that although other courts have started to pay a backlog of salaries and backward, the Nicn workers remain unpaid and demoralized, without a clear communication by the Management.

“Our colleagues from other federal courts have started to receive their backward. In Nicn, we are still waiting in vain,” he said.

He painted a gloomy picture of the workplace workplace, citing bad health provisions, lack of staff training, excessive taxation and an increasingly toxic atmosphere. “The members of our staff are dying weekly,” he said, “unable to afford medical treatment because of delayed rights and lack of support”.

The petition, which began to gain traction between activists for labor rights and civil society organizations, is addressed to the president Tinubu, the National Assembly and the CJN, pushing them to intervene before the crisis intensifies further.

“We are not asking for favors,” said staff member. “We are asking for fairness, equity and the right to live and work with dignity”.
