SSANU And NASU Announce A Seven-Day Warning Strike

Following the nationwide strike in 2022, the Senior Staff Association of Nigerian Universities (SSANU) and the Non-Academic Staff Union have called for a seven-day warning strike in order to demand the payment of four months' worth of salaries that have been withheld from their members.

Subsequent to a weekend meeting in Akure, the decision was included in the joint action committee resolution of the two unions.

When multiple protest letters and other correspondence with the Federal Government failed to produce the payment of the withheld salaries, the SSANU president, Mohammed Ibrahim, told journalists in Abuja on Monday that the decision to go on the warning strike was made as a last resort.

The statement added: “If nothing is done by the Federal Government to positively address this situation and respond to our previous letters to them, the members of the two unions may be forced to meet soon to take all lawful and stringent decisions on the matter.”
