The Joint Action Committee (JAC) of NASU and SSANU had, on June 20, 2024, sent a letter to minister of education, Prof. Tahir Mamman, informing him that their members would begin a work boycott in two weeks if their demands were not met.
In a letter jointly signed by NASU General Secretary Prince Peter Adeyemi and Mohammed Ibrahim, the unions accused the government of neglect and insincerity.
They lamented that despite the promises made by the ministers of education and labour and employment to pay the arrears, the federal government had continued to “dribble us, even after the mutual agreement to suspend the one-week warning strike in March this year.”
