Members of the Senior Staff Association of Nigerian Universities (SSANU) and the Non-Academic Staff Union (NASU) wrapped up their seven-day warning strike on Sunday, March 24, as directed by SSANU President Mohammed Ibrahim and NASU General Secretary Comrade Peters Adeyemi.
In a jointly signed circular sent to branch chairmen at public universities nationwide, they instructed SSANU and NASU members to resume work starting Monday, March 25, 2024.
After evaluating the impact of the strike, which began on Monday, March 18, 2024, the unions acknowledged the widespread participation and effectiveness of the strike across various universities and inter-university centers.
SSANU and NASU praised the dedication, determination, and loyalty of their members in advocating for the payment of four months’ delayed salaries.
The circular stated, “Consequently, you are hereby informed that the 7-day warning strike shall end at midnight of Sunday, 24th March, 2024, and normal work will resume on Monday, 25th March, 2024.
While assuring you that the struggle for the payment of the 4 months’ withheld salaries is ongoing, further issues such as Renegotiation of Year 2009 FGN/NASU and SSANU Agreements, Payment of N50 Billion Earned Allowances and others will continue to receive the same attention.
Therefore, JAC leadership will continue meaningful engagement with the relevant Government Agencies in both Executive and Legislative Arms and you will be duly notified of the next line of action(s) to be taken.”
