FG Considers Half Pay For SSANU, NASU Members

Earlier in March, SSANU and NASU initiated a warning strike to protest the government’s decision to withhold their salaries, unlike ASUU, whose partial payments had been made. Last year, after an eight-month strike for better conditions, President Muhammadu Buhari’s administration enforced a ‘No Work, No Pay’ policy. Subsequently, President Tinubu sanctioned the release of a portion of ASUU’s withheld salaries.

Addressing the delay in payments to NASU and SSANU, Mamman clarified that the approval hadn’t been granted yet, emphasizing that ASUU’s payment was a distinct decision and didn’t automatically extend to other unions. However, he assured that efforts were underway to address the issue, stating that if a similar gesture is extended to NASU and SSANU, they might receive half of the payment, considering their strike duration.

Mamman dismissed claims of discrimination against non-academic staff, attributing any oversight to a communication gap rather than deliberate exclusion.
