Senior Staff Association of Nigeria Universities (SSANU) has threatened to resume strike over failure of the Nigerian government to honour the agreement earlier reached with the union in September.

A meeting of the Joint Action Committee (JAC) of the three non- teaching staff in the universities comprising SSANU, non Academic Staff Union (NASU) and NAAT has been fixed for next Tuesday to fix a day to commence the action

SSANU National President and Chairman of JAC, Comrade Samson Chijioke Ugwoke, stated this yesterday while speaking at the 32nd National Executive Council (NEC), meeting at University of Port Harcourt, Rivers State.

Ugwoke said that the Union is not intimidated by the plan by the federal government to implement the no work, no pay policy, stressing that “it will be morally and legally wrong if the government should go contrary to the agreement it entered into with the association and expect SSANU not to react”.

He also condemned the continuous victimisation of some of its members by the authorities of University of Abuja and the alleged plan to hand over staff school of the University to the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), State Universal Basic Education Board (UBEB).

Ugwoke lamented that that the federal government has failed to implement all the agreements it entered into with the union before the industrial dispute declared by it was called off.


He said: “We had issues like earned allowances, short falls in salary, staff schools matter, non- implementation of the judgment of the National Industrial Court which we got against the federal government to recall all teachers back to their offices etc, we had an MoU with the federal government in January after a one week warning strike.

“From January to September, the federal government did not do anything as regards the MoU (Memorandum of Understanding) signed in January and that necessitated our second strike which was indefinite.

“We entered into an MoU on salary shortfalls, a development that has never happened before in the university system where staff are paid fractional salaries.

“We objected to that and the federal government promised the money. Information reaching me shows that up till now, not all the universities have received the shortfall.”

Nigerian education has been reduced to shambles no thanks to these selfish, greedy and insatiable unions and of course the government.

It's becoming clearer by the day that the state of the educational sector has reached its all-time low in the country.

From unnecessary victimisation of students, to back to back strikes, delaying of destinies, constant hike in fees and other extortions to the recent declaration by the V.P that the average graduate certificate is nothing but merely a finished product of a tree with a stamp on it.

Indeed there was a country!

In 2016 they called it BUDGET OF CHANGE, the Education sector got 6.01% of the largesse

In 2017 it was tagged BUDGET OF GROWTH AND RECOVERY, the Education sector was serviced with 7.4% of the lump sum

It has been proposed and its waiting in Asokoro to be passed into law, the 2018 APPROPRIATION BILL christened BUDGET OF CONSOLIDATION. Yet again, the Education sector must make do with 7% of the Consolidated Revenue Fund and other 'financial instruments' to be issued forthwith.

"A Nation can not rise above her level of Education"... Nelson Mandela

How did the 'Western powers' get it right?

How can the Nigeria of our dreams emerge?

Will the Nigeria of our dreams ever see the light of day?

Where's the place of rescue?

But UNESCO said Education must get not less than 26% of a country's budgetary allocation. Must Nigeria deviate?

"With the aim of revival of the economy, Nigeria needs to fund the education sector to provide human capital to develop other sectors of the economy. How can Nigeria become one of the best 20 economies in the world by 2020, if her best university for five years running is the 25th in Africa and the 2004th in the world? (Webometrics statistics, Jan. 2016). Education has to be free, accessible and quality to revive the economy. Trained hands are needed in the power sector, works sector, the ICT sector, etc, if Nigeria will survive this economic mess" (Campus Gist)

What a question? Rather I should redirect the inquiry back to you in another form, Can you read to understand? To relate?

My post is for people who actually want to get the plot. Not some ignorant dude who simply wants to start a pointless conversation. Bye.

Foolish set of workers

This government should pay attention to education....what kind of persistent strikes are this sef

Stop preparing, go on strike. That's the only way your agreement with FG can be honoured. Aren't you seeing projects that are being flagged off with huge ceremonies but no contractor on site?

U took shldn't worry, ASUU and ASUP is coming to join U. U're not alone

UNIBEN students how market?
