OUTSTANDING SALARIES: NASU, SSANU ISSUE THREE-WEEK ULTIMATUM, THREATEN INDEFINITE STRIKE
The Joint Action Committee of the Senior Staff Association of Nigerian Universities (SSANU) and the Non-Academic Staff Union of Universities (NASU) have threatened to embark on an indefinite strike if their outstanding salaries are not paid within three weeks.
They issued the threat in a statement jointly signed by SSANU President, Mohammed Ibrahim, and NASU General Secretary, Prince Peters Adeyemi.
The statement was obtained by Channels Television on Wednesday.
According to the unions, the 10-day grace period given to the Federal Government to pay the four months of outstanding salaries to university staff expired on 26th July 2024.
They gave the Federal Government another three-week ultimatum beginning from Tuesday September 17 to act on their demands or risk the indefinite strike by the unions.
The unions threatened to shut down universities and inter-university centres if payment was not made within the fresh grace period.
SSANU and NASU are demanding, among other things, the payment of four months’ withheld salaries of their members, improved remuneration, earned allowances, and the implementation of the 2009 agreement with the federal government.
The unions are accusing the Federal Government of failure to act within the initial six weeks ultimatum it issued in July this year.
