SSANU Receives Eight Months of Salary Arrears from FG
The Federal Government has released eight months of withheld salary arrears owed to members of the Senior Staff Association of Nigerian Universities (SSANU) following a strike threat from the union. This payment occurred less than 48 hours after SSANU issued a 14-day ultimatum regarding the implementation of the 2026 FGN/SSANU Agreement and demanded immediate settlement of outstanding financial obligations.
SSANU's demands included payment for outstanding Consolidated University Teaching and Tertiary Institutions Salary Structure (CONTTA) arrears dating back to January 1, 2026, two months' salaries withheld during the 2022 industrial action, and one-year arrears from salary increases. SSANU President, Comrade Mohammed Haruna Ibrahim, confirmed that members would soon receive payment alerts and commended Minister of Education Tunji Alausa for his intervention.
However, SSANU stated that the release did not resolve all outstanding issues, urging the government to settle remaining payments promptly.
