The National Executive Council, NEC, of the Senior Staff Association of Nigerian Universities, SSANU, has approved a seven day warning strike starting on March 18, over the federal government inability to pay members the four months withheld salaries
The seven day warning strike is expected to commence immediately after the Joint Action Committee, JAC comprising SSANU and the Non-Academic Staff Union of Educational and Associated Institutions, NASU, ratify the date this week.
Recall that President Bola Tinubu had directed that workers in the public universities that embarked on a prolonged strike in 2022 but were not paid salaries within the period of the strike by the administration of President Muhammadu Buhari should be paid for four months.
While the Office of the Accountant General of the Federation has paid the Academic Staff Union of Universities, ASUU, the four months as directed by the President, the three unions of non teaching staff are yet to be paid.
