SSANU warns of another strike in varsities

The Senior Staff Association of Nigerian Universities (SSANU) has issued an alert that another strike is on the way through the country’s universities. It blamed the President for the ongoing university strike, threatening that employees and numerous unions would go on strike again soon unless the right things were done. While presenting its memoranda to the school’s visitation council, the Alex Ekwueme Federal University Ndufu Alike kw (AE-FUNAI) chapter of SSANU issued the alert. The AE-FUNAI SSANU chairman, Emma Chigbata, presented the association’s memorandum to the panel’s Chairman, Amb Usman Sariki, and claimed that the country’s university system is dying. Bad support, as well as the federal government’s divide-and-rule approach to dealing with multiple unions, are some of the reasons for the system’s rot, according to him. “The Federal Government has no respect for agreements. Many agreements it entered into with various unions none of them have been fulfilled,” he said. He cautioned that if the situation is not treated properly, law and order in the universities will be disrupted…. Read more »
