Varsity workers begin strike over unpaid salaries

The Joint Action Committee (JAC) of non-teaching staff unions in federal universities, comprising the Non-Academic Staff Union of Educational and Associated Institutions (NASU) and the Senior Staff Association of Nigerian Universities (SSANU), on Monday commenced an indefinite nationwide strike over unpaid salaries.

Peters Adeyemi, NASU General Secretary, and Mohammed Ibrahim, SSANU President, signed the circular directing the strike.

“It is on record that JAC of NASU and SSANU has issued multiple notices to the government to redress this ugly situation. However, the sincerity of government to our cause is in doubt,” the circular read.
