University workers vow to resume strike over withheld salaries.
Members of the Non-Academic Staff Union of Educational and Other Associated Institutions (NASU) have announced plans to resume their suspended strike due to four unpaid salaries from the Federal Government.
Prince Peters Adeyemi, the General Secretary of NASU, shared this information during the union’s National Executive Council (NEC) meeting in Abuja.
While he didn’t specify an exact start date for the strike, it’s anticipated that the NEC will finalize their decision during the meeting.
Prince Adeyemi stated that the members’ patience has worn thin, asserting, “We are going to resume the suspended strike.”
Recall that President Tinubu had, in October 2023, directed that NASU and Senior Staff Association of Nigeria Universities, SSANU, members be paid two out of the four months withheld salaries by the federal government under President Muhammadu Buhari in 2022, following a prolonged strike over unresolved disputes.
