BREAKING: NASU, SSANU extend strike

The Senior Staff Association of Nigerian Universities along with the Non-Academic Staff Union of Educational and allied institutions have extended the ongoing strike by one month.

The jointly circular confirming this report was signed by the national president of SSANU, Muhammed Ibrahim, and the general secretary, Peters Adeyemi.

According to the unions, the extension was to increase the possibility of meeting all their necessary demands.

The circular stated that “In view of the fact that most of the issues in contention have not been resolved as the process of resolving same is ongoing and to allow the process to be concluded, we hereby direct that the ongoing strike be elongated by one month.

“Hopefully, all processes would have been concluded and all issues in dispute favourably resolved.”

SSANU and NASU declare industrial action due to the government’s failure to meet some of their demands.

The unions demand consistency in the Integrated Payroll and Personnel information system, unpaid earned allowances, and delay in the renegotiation of FGN, NASU, SSANU agreements, and nonpayment of minimum wage arrears.
