The Joint Action Committee of the Senior Staff Association of Nigerian Universities and the Non-academic Staff Union of Universities and Allied Institutions has extended the strike ultimatum issued to the government by two weeks.

Recall that both unions earlier gave the Federal Government a seven-day ultimatum over unresolved welfare issues, warning of a looming nationwide strike.

In a joint letter signed by SSANU President, Muhammed Ibrahim, the unions decried the “unjust disbursement of the earned allowances to staff of universities, non-payment of outstanding allowances, among others.”

Ibrahim recalled that the Joint Action Committee of NASU and SSANU had, in a letter dated June 18, 2025, drawn the attention of the government to unresolved labour matters. That letter, he noted, led to a meeting with the minister on July 4, 2025. Punch
