University Workers Extend Strike Ultimatum Amid Welfare Concerns

University workers, represented by SSANU and NASU, extended their strike ultimatum by two weeks due to unresolved welfare concerns, including the disbursement of earned allowances. The unions criticized the unfair allocation of funds and demanded swift action from the government to avert a nationwide shutdown.

The decision to prolong the ultimatum followed a meeting with top government officials, highlighting the urgency of addressing the labor issues in the education sector. The unions' joint action committee emphasized the need for the government to meet their demands promptly to prevent further disruptions in academic activities across Nigerian universities.
