March 17, (THEWILL)- The leadership of the Senior Staff Association of Nigerian Universities (SSANU) and the Non-Academic Staff Union of Educational and Associated Institutions (NASU) have declared a seven-day warning strike.
The Unions, in a statement dated March 15, directed their members across university and inter-university centres nationwide to withdraw services beginning from Monday, March 18, 2024.
The labour union said the strike is due to the failure of the Federal Government to address issues raised and the expiration of the ultimatum earlier issued to the government.
The statement, which was issued by the Joint Action Committee (JAC) of both SSANU and NASU, and signed by the National President of SSANU, Mohammed Ibrahim, and the General Secretary of NASU, Peters Adeyemi, urged the branch leaders to ensure total compliance to the directive.
It reads in part: “Please note that the 7-day warning strike should be comprehensive and total as no concession should be given in any guise.
“Your strict compliance and adherence to this directive is mandatory for all NASU and SSANU branches in the Universities and Inter-University Centres.”
