The Non-Academic Staff Union (NASU) and Senior Staff Association of Nigeria Universities (SSANU) have joined ASUU to declare a two-week warning strike.
The unions have described as non-challance the attitude of Federal Government towards their demands and agitations.
It stated this in a joint press statement signed by both the National President of SSANU, Comrade H. Ibrahim and the General Secretary of NASU, Prince Peters Adeyemi.
The statement read in part “Having waited for so long, this is to inform you that the government has not responded nor reacted to our demands as at this moment.”
“This is to direct our members in all universities and inter-universities centres throughout the country to commence a two-week warning strike by midnight of Sunday, 27th March, 2022 in the first instance as earlier conveyed to the Federal Government in our letter.”
The statement thereby emphasized that the two-week warning strike should be comprehensive and total, adding that no concession should be given in any guise.
“Your strict compliance and adherence to the directive is mandatory to all branches of NASU and SSANU in the Universities and Inter- Universities Centres throughout the country,” the statement concluded.
The strike by these unions have now totally grounded activities in Nigeria’s public varsities.
Recall that ASUU has already embarked on a 3- month-strike, the body claims that their demands have not been fully met by the Federal Government
