The Senior Staff Association of Nigerian Universities, SSANU and the Non-Academic Staff Union of Educational and Associated Institutions, NASU, have declared a one-day protest on Thursday over the inability of the Federal Government to address their demands.
SSANU and NASU, through the Joint Action Committee, JAC, have directed all their branches to convene a joint emergency meeting on Wednesday to mobilize all their members for protest activities, which include protest marches on campuses, the display of placards conveying their grievances, and press conferences.
The decision to embark on a protest was reached by JAC on October 6, after a comprehensive review of the government’s response towards the series of ultimatums it had earlier issued.
The contentious issues are the alleged unjust disbursement of N50 billion Earned Allowances; delay in renegotiation of the 2009 FGN and NASU/SSANU Agreements; non-payment of outstanding two months salaries; non-payment of arrears of 25 percent and 35 percent salary arrears, and non-payment of third-party deductions of the two months salaries (May and June, 2022), among others.
