The Senior Staff Association of Nigerian Universities, SSANU, and the Non-Academic Staff Union of Universities, NASU, say they will go on an indefinite strike if their outstanding salaries are not paid within three weeks.

In a statement signed by SSANU President, Mohammed Ibrahim, and NASU General Secretary, Prince Peters Adeyemi, the unions said the 10-day grace period given to the Federal Government to pay the four months of outstanding salaries to university staff expired on 26th July 2024.

The unions agreed to give the Federal Government a three-week ultimatum beginning from Tuesday September 17 to act on their demands or risk the indefinite strike by the unions.

SSANU and NASU demands include the payment of four months’ withheld salaries of their members, improved remuneration, earned allowances, and the implementation of the 2009 agreement with the Federal Government.
