The Joint Action Committee of the Senior Staff Association of Nigerian Universities (SSANU) and the Non-Academic Staff Union of Universities and Allied Institutions (NASU) has declared its intention to continue an indefinite strike, despite the Federal Government’s recent release of one month’s salary from the four months withheld.
This strike, initiated on Monday, has led to a nationwide shutdown of university activities as university staff protest the delayed payment of their salaries.
SSANU National President Mohammed Ibrahim highlighted that many university officials, including Vice-Chancellors and bursars, have also not received their salaries, further complicating operational issues within the institutions.
Ibrahim confirmed that while some members have started receiving payments, the majority are still awaiting resolution.
“Yes, they paid one month out of four months. We shall be meeting to appraise the situation. Not everyone has received so far,” he stated.
The unions have emphasized that 98 percent of their members are participating in the strike and will not return to work until their full salary arrears are addressed.
