SSANU To Join ASUU Strike

Senior Staff Association of Nigerian Universities,
SSANU, will tomorrow join the Academic Staff Union
of Universities, ASUU on strike as the union said it has
mobilized its members across the country to embark on
industrial action over alleged stoppage of their salaries
for two months.
In a letter dated 27 September, 2013, and addressed to
its branch chairmen in all the universities in the
country, SSANU directed its members to stay away
from work from tomorrow until the salaries are fully
paid.
The President of SSANU, Comrade Samson Ugwoke,
said the strike will be total, while the General
Secretary, who signed the letter directing members to
stay at home from tomorrow, Comrade Promise
Adewusi, said no member should go back to work until
a counter directive was given.
Adewusi stated that the union took the decision
following its letters to the vice-chancellors in
universities, the Secretary to the Government of the
Federation, Senator Anyim Pius Anyim, Ministers of
Labour and Productivity, Chief Emeka Wogu and
Education, Nyesom Wike, as well as the Executive
Secretary, National Universities Commission, Prof.
Julius Okojie.
