SSANU, NASU Resume Talks with FG After Strike Suspension
The Senior Staff Association of Nigerian Universities (SSANU) and the Non-Academic Staff Union (NASU) have resumed negotiations with the Federal Government following the suspension of their indefinite strike, which began on April 30. The unions, represented by SSANU Chairman Jac Moham Ibrahim, are negotiating at the National Universities Commission headquarters in Abuja.
They are seeking a minimum salary increase of 40%, rejecting the government's unilateral offer of 30%. The unions have set a two-week timeline to conclude negotiations and sign an agreement.
Ibrahim expressed optimism about reaching a resolution within this timeframe but warned that if negotiations fail, the unions would resume their suspended strike. The unions' demands include a review of the 2009 agreement and improvements in welfare packages, with a clear stance that they will not accept anything less than a 40% salary increase.
