Members of the Non-Academic Staff Union of Educational and Associated Institutions (NASU) and the Senior Staff Association of Nigerian Universities (SSANU) have been instructed by the Joint Action Committee (JAC) to begin a strike on Monday, March 18.
According to the labor union, the federal government's inability to resolve the issues brought out and the prior ultimatum's expiration are what sparked the strike.
In a joint statement, President Mohammed Ibrahim of SSANU and General Secretary Peter Adeyemi of NASU stated that the government's decision to withhold members' pay for four months is the reason the strike is going into action.
It further stated that because the government did not take appropriate action over the salaries that were withheld, they decided to initiate a seven-day warning strike that will first take effect on Monday, March 18.
According to the statement, there would be no compromise and the strike would be unconditional.
In order to emphasize its demands regarding the predicament of its members, Naija News remembers that SSANU and NASU had threatened to close all university residence halls and turn off all campus power.
In response to the unions' ultimatum, the federal government declared that talks with the two labor unions located on campuses will go on.
