SSANU, NASU may proceed on strike Thursday over alleged 4-month unpaid salaries

The Senior Staff Association of Nigerian Universities (SSANU) has said that it will embark on a nationwide industrial action tomorrow, Thursday, 04 July , along with sister union, the Non-Academic Staff Union of Universities Associated Institutions if the four months salaries withheld by government were not paid to members. In a communique issued at the end of the 48th Regular National Executive Council (NEC) meeting of SSANU, held on Thursday 27h and Friday 28 June 2024 at the University of Benin, Benin City, Edo State, SSANU said that the government has failed to keep its promise of paying the outstanding salaries. While applauding the inauguration of Governing Councils of Federal Universities, the union called on the government to as a matter of urgency reconstitute a new committee for the renegotiation of the SSANU/FGN 2009 Agreement as the issue is long overdue.
