The development was disclosed in a statement signed by the Commissioner for Information, Ahmed Maiyaki.

According to the statement, a high-level government delegation met with the State Executive Committee of JUSUN on Monday, February 23, 2026, at the Attorney-General’s Chamber to address the issues in contention.

Naija News reports that the union’s demands included the implementation of financial autonomy for the state judiciary, consequential salary adjustments arising from the new minimum wage, payment of outstanding salary arrears for April and May 2021, as well as the settlement of leave grant arrears.

The statement noted that following extensive deliberations, all issues were amicably resolved in line with the directive of Governor Uba Sani.

The Attorney-General and Commissioner of Justice, Dr James Kanyip, described the meeting as fruitful.

He said the outcome reflected the governor’s strong commitment to industrial harmony and enhanced productivity within the public service.

According to the statement, “The state government commends JUSUN’s leadership for its maturity and cooperation, [and] urges judiciary staff to resume work immediately in the interest of effective justice delivery in Kaduna State.”

With the suspension of the strike, courts across Kaduna State are expected to resume normal operations, restoring judicial services that had been halted during the one-week industrial action.
