We’ll go on strike when schools reopen – SSANU, NASU
Samson Ugwoke, Chairman, Joint Action Committee of the unions, made the disclosure at a press briefing on Thursday in Abuja.They are protesting the lingering Integrated Payroll and Personnel Information System debacle, non-payment of arrears of earned allowance and minimum wage.
The unions are also aggrieved over alleged lack of seriousness by the Babalakin Committee renegotiating the 2009 FG/NASU, SSANU agreements, poor funding of universities, absence of visitation panels, among others. Ugwoke lamented that after many other sectors had been paid minimum wage, university workers were still left out.
“We find this development totally unwholesome. Given the time lag of over a year since it was implemented in other sectors, members of the public would agree that we have been patient enough in the university system.”
