The CJN made the appeal on Tuesday when the Minister of Labour and Employment, Dr Chris Ngige met with him at the Supreme Court over the ongoing strike embarked upon by the Judiciary Staff to demand financial autonomy for the Judiciary in the country.
Upon being briefed by the Minister on the negotiation level so far, the CJN said when the strike is called off, it would also provide an opportunity for further negations towards the resolution of the dispute.
A statement by the Senior Special Assistant on Media to the CJN, Ahuraka Yusuf Isah said the CJN observed that some of the issues in contention are already sub justice.
The CJN, according to the statement said, there is a need to give the requisite legal process enough opportunity to be exhausted.
