The Senior Staff Association of Nigerian Universities (SSANU) has resumed activities after its one-week warning strike, News About Nigeria reports.
The president of the association, Mr. Mohammed Ibrahim, made this known while speaking at a virtual stakeholders forum organised by the Education Writers Association of Nigeria (EWAN) on Sunday in Lagos.
He noted that the association put an end to its warning strike to give the government more room to do the needful.
Recall that on March 18, the Joint Action Committee (JAC) of affected university labour unions had directed members to stop activities following their four-month withheld salaries and the non-implementation of the agreement they entered into with the Federal Government in 2009.
Ibrahim, however, noted that after a meeting with representatives of the Federal Government in Abuja on Wednesday, where nothing tangible was reached, the representatives appealed to the association to end the warning strike with a promise that something would be done as soon as possible.
He further noted that the association will be reviewing the outcome of the warning strike, as well as the recent meeting with the federal government, adding that failure to meet their own side of the bargain will be met with drastic action.
“We had a meeting with representatives of the Federal Government in Abuja on Wednesday, and nothing tangible came out concerning the issue.
“The strike will end by midnight. We’ll go back to our various branches to review the outcome of the warning strike, as well as the recent meeting with the federal government, and from there agree on the next line of action.
“We have given a window to do the needful, and failure to meet their own side of the bargain will be met with drastic action,” he stated.
