Two striking university unions, SSANU and NASU, have resolved to embark on an additional two months’ strike in order to give the government enough time to implement its demands. This was contained in a circular obtained by Students Mirror correspondent.
Part of the statement reads; “We wish to thank all members of NASU and SSANU for their sustained compliance with the National directive on the ongoing strike action.
The compliance of members, even in the face of the denials of our salaries, threats and harassment, has continued to give the national leadership the strength and focus to forge ahead on our demands.
“The success recorded by the JAC of NASU and SSANU over the payment of the Minimum Wage Consequential Adjustment Arrears, which all staff in the university system benefited from, was only made possible by the resilience of our members. We note however, that we still have a few members across the Branches and from the Federal Universities of Agriculture who are yet to be paid. JAC is not resting on its oars and shall ensure these omissions are resolved.
“In view of the fact that the government is still a long way from effectively resolving the issues in contention, it’s only expedient that we allow the process to be fully concluded before directing the end of the strike.
“We urge you to keep up the spirit across the Branches as we are slowly inching close to victory’?” statement partly reads
