The Senior Staff Association of Nigerian Universities (SSANU) has threatened to declare an indefinite strike over a directive by the Federal Government for universities to retrench workers of University Staff Schools.
The National President of the association, Mr Samson Ugwoke made the plan known at a news conference in Abuja on Friday.
He said that failure by the government to honour the agreement between it and SSANU on the schools would compel the association to declare an indefinite strike
“SSANU wishes to notify the Federal Government of our intention to resume our national industrial action on rejection of the directive to Vice-Chancellors of Federal Universities, by the National Salaries, income and wages Commission to retrench over 2,000 workers.
“This set of people has been employed by the universities councils for upward of decades and productively contributing their quotas to the development of the Nigerian education system, “ he said.
