JUST IN – SSANU And NASU End Warning Strike

Members of the Senior Staff Association of Nigerian Universities (SSANU) and the Non-Academic Staff Union (NASU) have called off their seven-day warning strike.

In a circular addressed to branch chairmen at public universities nationwide, SSANU President Mohammed Ibrahim instructed members to resume work from Monday, March 25, 2024.

The strike, which commenced on March 18, 2024, was initiated over withheld salaries, prompting workers in registry, bursary, works and maintenance, security, and students’ affairs to withdraw their services.

SSANU and NASU have been protesting against the Federal Government for withholding salaries, particularly in contrast to the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) receiving theirs. The unions criticized the government’s unequal treatment of non-academic staff.

Previously, all unions had undertaken an eight-month strike in 2022 to push for improved welfare conditions. The then President, Muhammadu Buhari, enforced a ‘No Work, No Pay policy’ against the unions, but President Bola Tinubu later authorized the release of four months’ withheld salaries last October.
