SSANU and NASU Announce One-Day Nationwide Protest Over Unresolved Staff Demands

Wale busari03 mins

The Senior Staff Association of Nigerian Universities (SSANU) and the Non-Academic Staff Union of Educational and Associated Institutions (NASU) have announced a one-day nationwide protest on Thursday to press the Federal Government to meet their outstanding demands. Acting through the Joint Action Committee (JAC), the unions have instructed all branches to hold emergency meetings on Wednesday to prepare members for marches, placard displays, and press briefings across campuses. The decision follows a review of government responses at the JAC meeting on October 6, after previous ultimatums expired without resolution. Key issues include alleged unfair distribution of the N50 billion earned allowances, delays in renegotiating the 2009 FGN/NASU/SSANU agreements, unpaid salaries for two months, pending arrears from 25 and 35 percent salary increments, and non-remittance of third-party deductions for May and June 2022. A circular dated October 6, signed by NASU General Secretary Prince Peters Adeyemi and SSANU National President Comrade Mohammed Ibrahim, directed full participation by all members. The memo stated that joint consultative committee meetings convened on September 19 and October 6 had made little progress, leaving the unions’ demands unresolved. “In light of this, the National JAC directs branch leadership in universities and inter-university centres nationwide to convene a joint congress on Wednesday, 8th October 2025, to mobilise for a massive one-day protest on Thursday, 9th October 2025,” the circular read, stressing strict compliance and unity. SSANU President Ibrahim warned that the government’s continued inaction could trigger an indefinite strike. “Ours will not be the ‘mother of all strikes’; it will be the grandfather of all strikes. When SSANU or NASU strikes, you know what it means. We must take our destinies into our hands,” he said, lamenting the poor welfare of non-academic staff. Like the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU), SSANU and NASU have consistently clashed with the Federal Government over staff welfare and university funding.

NASU, SSANU begin indefinite strike on Monday

Fola Badmus04 mins

The Non-Academic Staff Union of Educational and Associated Institutions, NASU and the Senior Staff Association of Nigerian Universities, SSANU, have directed its members to proceed on a nationwide indefinite strike from Monday over the non payment of the four months withheld salaries. The strike according to the leaders of the two unions would commence on Sunday night of October 27, 2024. The bodies in a circular to all branch chairmen of NASU and SSANU in the universities and inter-university centres, with the title: “Latest development in respect of the withheld four (4) months salaries,” explained that the strike initially billed for 23rd October, was rescheduled because of the Trade Group Council meeting of NASU branches on the said date. The circular which was signed by Prince Peters Adeyemi, General Secretary of NASU and Comrade Mohammed Ibrahim, SSANU President, explained that the strategic change in timing was for effective co-ordination and for both Unions to be on same page. The bodies regretted that despite President Bola Tinubu’s approval for the 50 percent of the four months withheld salaries to be paid, the alleged inaction of the Minister of Finance raised question about the government’s commitment to resolving the issue. According to the circular, “It is on record that JAC of NASU and SSANU has issued multiple notices to the government to redress this ugly situation. However, the sincerity of government to our cause is in doubt. “However, the Trade Group Council Meeting of NASU branches in the Universities and Inter- University Centres has been scheduled to hold on Wednesday 23rd and Thursday 24th October 2024 at Ahmadu Bello University Zaria, and the arrangements for the meeting already concluded. “In view of this, the leadership of JAC has decided that the effective date for the strike be moved to mid-night of Sunday, 27th October 2024, to allow the Branch Officers of NASU to be on ground before commencing the strike. “We have to do this strategic change in timing for effective co-ordination and for both Unions to be on same page. “We express our deepest appreciation for your steadfast commitment to the leadership and we affirm our determination to persist in this struggle until ultimate victory is secured.”
