SSANU and NASU to Start National Protest Due to Four Months Unpaid Salary
The tenuous calm in Nigeria’s public universities faces renewed uncertainty as the Senior Staff Association of Nigerian Universities (SSANU) and the Non-Academic Staff Union of Universities (NASU) have called on their members to stage nationwide protests on July 18, 2024.
Earlier, the Joint Action Committee of NASU and SSANU instructed all branches to conduct local demonstrations on July 9th amidst ongoing disputes over unpaid salaries dating back to a 2022 strike led by the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU).
Despite directives from President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for salary payments, SSANU and NASU members continue to wait, prompting threats of strikes.
In efforts to avoid such actions, the Federal Government recently met with union leaders, yet no resolution was reached on the outstanding salary issues.
In response, NASU’s General Secretary, Prince Peters Adeyemi, and SSANU’s President, Mohammed Ibrahim, jointly announced plans for local and national protests, criticizing the government’s lack of commitment to resolving their grievances.
They also outlined further actions pending a future strike announcement.
