The Senior Staff Association of Nigerian Universities (SSANU) and the Non-Academic Staff Union, NASU have declared a 7-day warning strike, beginning March 18, 2024.
The decision to embark on a strike is a move to recover four months withheld salaries during the 2022 nationwide strike.
This was revealed to journalists by the SSANU President, Mohammed Ibrahim on Monday.
He said, the decision to embark on the strike was taken at a joint action committee of the two unions held in Akure, Ondo State capital on Thursday and Friday.
Ibrahim, who read the communiqué of the meeting to journalists in Abuja said the unions decided to embark on the warning strike as a last resort after several protest letters and other communications with the Federal Government did not yield any result.
The statement added: “If nothing is done by the Federal Government to positively address this situation and respond to our previous letters to them, the members of the two unions may be forced to meet soon to take all lawful and stringent decisions on the matter.”
