Withheld Salaries: SSANU, NASU begin nationwide strike Monday
The Senior Staff Association of Nigerian Universities (SSANU) and the Non-Academic Staff Union of Educational and Associated Institutions (NASU) have jointly announced a nationwide industrial action commencing from Monday, 18 March.
In a memo addressed to union branches dated Friday, 15 March, the leadership of both SSANU and NASU instructed their members to withdraw services for a period of seven days. This action follows an earlier threat and ultimatum issued to the Nigerian government concerning the unpaid withheld salaries of their members.

The Joint Action Committee (JAC) of SSANU and NASU, comprising Mohammed Ibrahim, the National President of SSANU, and Peters Adeyemi, the General Secretary of NASU, emphasized the importance of total compliance with the directive among branch leaders.
JAC criticized the Nigerian government for its handling of the situation, questioning why salaries withheld from SSANU and NASU members remained unpaid while those of the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) were disbursed. This discrepancy has contributed to the decision to initiate the industrial action.
The unions’ decision underscores their commitment to advocating for the rights and welfare of their members, as they seek redress for the perceived injustice in the payment of salaries.
