SSANU to Hold National Executive Council Meeting Over Strike Threat
Last week, SSANU and NASU threatened to protest if the government failed to release the withheld salaries, which were seized during their strike in 2022. In a joint letter, they questioned the government's decision to release salaries to ASUU members but exclude members of SSANU and NASU.

The Joint Action Committee of the Senior Staff Association of Nigerian Universities (SSANU) and the Non-Academic Staff Union of Educational and Allied Institutions (NASU) is set to convene a National Executive Council (NEC) meeting on Friday to discuss their threat of strike action.
This decision comes after the unions issued a seven-day ultimatum to the Federal Government demanding the release of salaries withheld in 2022 during a strike. They expressed dissatisfaction with the recent release of salaries only to members of the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU).
According to the National President of SSANU, Muhammed Ibrahim, the government has not yet responded officially to the threat of industrial action by the two unions.

Muhammed Ibrahim stated that the NEC meeting on Friday would determine the unions' next course of action. The Assistant Director of Press at the Federal Ministry of Education, Tina Obilor-Duru, did not respond to inquiries regarding the matter.
