SSANU Threatens Indefinite Strike Over Welfare Issues
The Senior Staff Association of Nigerian Universities (SSANU) is preparing for an indefinite strike as the April 30 deadline for renegotiating welfare agreements approaches. During a special National Executive Council (NEC) meeting held on Sunday in Abuja, SSANU's chairman, Muhammad Ibrahim, expressed concerns over the delay in concluding negotiations with the federal government.
SSANU had previously issued a 30-day ultimatum on March 30, urging the government to finalize the renegotiation process. If the federal government fails to sign the agreement by the stipulated deadline, SSANU, in conjunction with the Non-Academic Staff Union (NASU), will commence comprehensive industrial action.
Ibrahim called on members across branches to remain calm and vigilant while complying with union directives to defend their welfare and dignity. The NEC also expressed concerns regarding public claims about a proposed 30 percent salary increase, stating that negotiations are ongoing and that SSANU will not accept any outcomes below their expectations.
