The Federal Government has invited the Joint Action Committee of the Non-Academic Staff Union of Educational and Associated Institutions (SSANU) and the Senior Staff Association of Nigerian Universities (NASU) for a meeting today at 11 a.m. to discuss their ongoing indefinite strike.
SSANU Vice-President Abdussobur Salaam confirmed the official invitation, noting that the meeting will be led by the Minister of State for Education. The strike, which began on Monday, was triggered by four months of unpaid salaries, leading to a nationwide shutdown of university activities.

He stated, “98% of our members complied with the strike, and they will not return to work until our demands are met.”
