This was contained in a press release by the Council after a meeting on 23rd May 2016.
JUSSAG has been on strike since Friday 20th May 2016 over what they say is government's failure to implement the new agreed consolidation of their salaries and allowances.
JUSSAG embarked on a similar strike but was called off after assurances by Haruna Iddrissu the Minister of Employment and Labour Relations to ensure the implementation of the new salaries.

But two months afterwards the judicial service workers are accusing government of showing a lackadaisical attitude towards their demands and cannot hold on further for their demands.
Though the Judicial Council gave an assurance to do their best to get government to play its role, the Council also stated that the strike is affecting them badly.
Meanwhile the Ministry of Employment and Labor Relations is expected to meet with the striking judicial staff Tuesday in a bid to get them back to work.
But Employment and Labour Relations Minister, Haruna Iddrisu said he is optimistic today’s meeting will yield fruitful results to get the striking judicial workers at post.
In a related development the National Labor Commission is threatening a legal action against JUSSAG to compel them to go back to work. The Labor Commission had earlier described the strike as illegal.
