NASU, SSANU declare nationwide strike over withheld salaries

He reiterated the federal government’s commitment to efficiently cater for the well-being of Nigerian workers and retirees.

NASU and the Senior Staff Association of Nigerian Universities (SSANU) commenced a nationwide strike on Monday, October 28.

The unions had earlier issued a seven-day ultimatum, urging the federal government to rectify the disparities in the payments among universities’ unions.
