The Senior Staff Association of Nigerian Universities (SSANU) and the Non-Academic Staff Union (NASU) have announced a 7-day warning strike to demand the payment of four months of withheld salaries for their members following the 2022 nationwide strike.
The decision was reached during a meeting of the joint action committee of the two unions held in Akure over the weekend.
Mohammed Ibrahim, the President of SSANU, conveyed the resolution of the meeting to journalists in Abuja on Monday, emphasizing that the warning strike was deemed necessary after numerous attempts to engage with the Federal Government failed to yield the desired outcome of salary payment.
