SSANU, NASU to embark on seven-day strike
In protest of their four months' salary being withheld, the Non-Academic Staff Union and the Senior Staff Association of Nigerian Universities announced a seven-day warning strike on Monday.
After their joint action committee met last Thursday and Friday in Akure, Ondo State, the unions announced a warning strike on Monday in Abuja.
Speaking to press after the meeting, SSANU National President Mohammed Ibrahim explained that the action was required because the Federal Government had failed to provide them the four months' wage that had been withheld due to their statewide strike in 2022.
The Academic Staff Union of Universities, which was also on strike in 2022, received its withheld four months' wage from the Federal Government lately; nevertheless, SSANU and NASU were disregarded.
The non-teaching staff's exclusion from receiving their outstanding four months' salary was the subject of protest letters sent by the SSANU and NASU unions to the Minister of Education, Tahir Mamman, and the Chief of Staff to the President, Femi Gbajabiamila, on February 13, 2024.
