Joint Action Committee, the body
overseeing the ongoing strike by non-
academic unions in Federal
universities across Nigeria has
scheduled an important meeting to
review their decision to down tools.
The striking unions made up of Senior
Staff Association of Nigerian
Universities (SSANU), Non-Academic
Staff Union of Educational and
Associated Institutions (NASU) and
National Association of Academic
Technologists (NAAT) announced the
meeting a day after the Joint
Admission & Matriculation Board
(JAMB) issued a statement that the
two months old strike would affect
the Unified Tertiary Matriculation
Examination (UTME) especially the
mock examination scheduled for
February 26.
JAMB had in statement noted that the
unions are part of the key
stakeholders for the conduct of the
UTME examinations while expressing
the hope that the federal government
would accede to the requests of the
striking workers for successful
conduct of the examination.
