The Senior Staff Association of Nigerian Universities (SSANU) has announced that it will maintain its ongoing strike until members receive payment for four months of withheld salaries.
SSANU President Mohammed Ibrahim clarified this during an interview on Monday on Channels TV’s Politics Today.
The strike, jointly declared by SSANU and the Non-Academic Staff Union of Universities (NASU), began on Sunday night in response to what union leaders describe as the government’s failure to fulfill its financial obligations.
Ibrahim accused the Ministry of Finance of withholding the salaries, noting that the unions had been “shortchanged.”
