The Senior Staff Association of Nigeria Universities and Non-Academic Staff Union of Educational and Associated Institutions have directed their members across the country to mobilise for a nationwide protest
In a circular directed to all branch chairmen of the two unions and made available to the media in Abuja on Sunday, the unions said the protest would commence on July 9, 2024, across the state chapters of the federation, and a national protest in Abuja on July 18.
The circular was jointly signed by the General Secretary of NASU and the National President of SSANU, Peters Adeyemi, and Mohammed Ibrahim, respectively.
The unions said the protest follows the recent breakdown of dialogue between the Joint Action Committee of the two bodies and the Ministers of Education and Labour and Employment.
The statement read, āThe National body of the Joint Action Committee of NASU and SSANU met on Thursday, 4th July 2024, to appraise and take a position on the current situation in respect of the withheld four monthsā salaries and other grievances of our members in University and Inter-University Centres.
