Blackout in UI over SSANU, NASU strike
SSANU and NASU commenced a seven-day warning strike on Monday over the non-payment of four months withheld salaries.
President Bola Tinubu had, in October 2023, directed that the university workers who embarked on a prolonged strike in 2022 be paid four months.
The members of the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) who were part of the unions that embarked on the strike had been paid their own withheld four months’ salaries.
The Federal Government has however appealed to the unions to call off the warning strike.
