University Staff Unions Slam FG For Partial Salary Disbursement During Ongoing Strike

University Staff Unions Slam FG For Partial Salary Disbursement During Ongoing StrikeThe Joint Action Committee (JAC) of the Senior Staff Association of Nigerian Universities (SSANU) and the Non-Academic Staff Union of Universities and Allied Institutions (NASU) voiced their dissatisfaction on Saturday, revealing that the Federal Government has only released one month of the four months of withheld salaries. This partial payment comes in the wake of an indefinite strike initiated by the unions last Monday, which has led to widespread shutdowns at universities across Nigeria.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶

The Office of the Accountant General of the Federation confirmed the release, but union officials, including SSANU National President Mohammed Ibrahim, stated that it falls short of their demands. Ibrahim pointed out that high-ranking university officials, such as Vice-Chancellors, bursars, and registrars, have also gone unpaid, further disrupting university operations.

“Yes, they paid one month out of four, but not everyone has received their pay yet,” Ibrahim told Sunday Punch, emphasizing that the strike will continue until all their demands are met. The strike has garnered significant support, with 98 percent of union members reportedly participating, according to Ibrahim.

The JAC leadership plans to meet soon to evaluate the situation and reaffirm their commitment to striking until the government resolves the salary backlog fully.
