In a related development, Senior Staff Association of Nigerian Universities SSANU and the Non-Academic Staff Union have declared a 7-day warning strike, beginning March 18, 2024 to demand the payment of four months of their members’ withheld salaries after the 2022 nationwide strike.

The decision was part of the resolution of the joint action committee of the two unions, after a meeting which held in Akure at the weekend.

According to the SSANU president, Mohammed Ibrahim, the decision to embark on the warning strike was taken as a last resort since several protest letters and other communications with the Federal Government did not result in the payment of the withheld salaries.
