The leadership of the Senior Staff Association of Nigerian Universities together with that of the Non-Academic Staff Union of Educational and Associated Institutions have mobilized their members to embark on strike over unpaid salaries.
The services of the members of the academic unions are to be withdrawn from Monday, March 18, 2024.
The memo, which was issued by the Joint Action Committee of both SSANU and NASU, and signed by the National President of SSANU, Mohammed Ibrahim, and the General Secretary of NASU, Peters Adeyemi, urged the branch leaders to ensure total compliance to the directive.
JAC blamed the Nigerian government for allowing the matter to degenerate, querying the justification for the payment of the withheld salaries of the members of the Academic Staff Union of Universities but decided to leave out their members, according to Premium Times.
The memo reads in part: “Please note that the 7-day warning strike should be comprehensive and total as no concession should be given in any guise.
“Your strict compliance and adherence to this directive is mandatory for all NASU and SSANU branches in the Universities and Inter-University Centres.”
