SSANU and NASU embark on strike.On Monday, a nationwide strike was initiated by the Non-Academic Staff Union (NASU) and the Senior Staff Association of Nigerian Universities (SSANU).
The rationale behind the industrial action is the purported inequitable treatment and discrepancy in salary disbursements by the federal government.
Unions issued a threat last Monday to disrupt university dorms and power supplies nationwide if the Federal Government does not comply with their demands by today, March 18, 2024.
The national president of SSANU, Muhammed Ibrahim, stated that arrears for 2022 have not been paid to his organization’s members, which includes vice chancellors, registrars, and bursars.
Ibrahim informed Punch on Sunday that the two unions were organizing a nationwide strike.
Prof. Tahir Mamman, the Minister for Education, stated that he was not informed of the strike that SSANU/NASU intended to execute.
On the contrary, Ibrahim proclaimed the commencement of the strike during the Channels Television Morning Show.
“Definitely, it (the strike) has already started.
“As of today (Monday), all our workers in registry, bursary, works and maintenance, security, and students’ affairs have withdrawn their services and nothing moves within the administration of any public university in Nigeria and that will be the case for the next seven days until and unless the needful is done,” he stated.
