The Senior Staff Association of Nigerian Universities (SSANU), Non-Academic Staff Union of Universities (NASU), and the National Association of Academic Technologists (NAAT), have announced their decision to embark on a comprehensive, total and indefinite strike, effective from Monday, December 4, 2017.
The non-teaching staff unions of Nigerian government universities under the umbrella of the Joint Action Committee (JAC), have directed all their branches nationwide to resume indefinite strike on Monday, December 4.
This directive was given in a letter to all the branch chairmen of the non-teaching staff unions in the universities, under the umbrella of Joint Action Committee (JAC), titled, “Directives to immediately resume the suspended strike,” signed by Samson Chijioke Ugwoke (SSANU), Chris Ani (NASU) and Sani Suleiman (NAAT).
The letter explained that the action was as a result of the inability of the Federal Government to clarify the criteria for the disbursement of the N23 billion it released to the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU), while only pittance was allocated to the three non-teaching staff unions.
