SSANU, NASU Declare 7-Day Warning Strike Over Withheld Salaries

The Senior Staff Association of Nigerian Universities (SSANU) and the Non-Academic Staff Union (NASU) have declared a 7-day warning strike, starting from March 18, 2024, to demand the payment of four months of their members’ withheld salaries, which was seized after the 2022 nationwide strike.

The decision was part of the resolution of the joint action committee of the two unions, after a meeting held in Akure at the weekend.

According to the SSANU President, Mohammed Ibrahim, who read the communiqué of the meeting to journalists in Abuja on Monday, said the decision to embark on the warning strike was taken as a last resort since several protest letters and other communications with the Federal Government did not result in the payment of the withheld salaries.

The statement added: “If nothing is done by the Federal Government to positively address this situation and respond to our previous letters to them, the members of the two unions may be forced to meet soon to take all lawful and stringent decisions on the matter”.

On March 1, the unions in a joint letter threatened to embark on strike and gave the federal government a 7-day ultimatum, which expired last Friday.
