SSANU to embark on three days nation-wide strike on Monday

The Senior Staff Association of Nigeria Universities (SSANU) has announced that it will begin a three-day nationwide protest on Monday, December 17, over an alleged disobedience by the federal government to a court judgment on the issue of staff schools.

The alleged disobedience of the federal government also relates to its refusal to implement an agreement reached with the union especially on earned allowance.

The Nigerian Tribune reports that SSANU made the resolution at its 35th regular National Executive Council (NEC) meeting held at the Enugu state University of Science and Technology.

The report said the resolution was signed by its national president, Comrade Samson Ugwoke, and the national public relations officer, Comrade Abdussobur Salaam.

The report said SSANU accused the federal government of not obeying the judgment of National Industrial Court, Abuja, which ruled that the teachers in university staff schools who were sacked by government should be reinstated.

The union further alleged that the federal government has not released the N8 billion earned allowance it promised its members.
