“In the meantime, the nationwide
strike takes effect from 12 midnight, 5
February 2021, pending any contrary
resolution by the branches,” the official
said.


The Leadership of the Joint Action
Committee (JAC) of the non-teaching
staff unions of universities says it will
go ahead with its nationwide strike on
February 5.


This is to compel the Federal Government to address their
demands, a statement from the unions has said.
The JAC non-teaching staff are the Senior Staff Association of
Nigerian Universities (SSANU) and Non-Academic Staff Union of
the Universities (NASU).
Peters Adeyemi, NASU General Secretary, said this in a
statement jointly signed by Mohammed Ibrahim, SSANU
president, on Thursday, in Abuja.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) recalls that the JAC of the
two unions NASU and SSANU had last week threatened to
embark on strike on February 5, to press home its demands.
The demands included, rectifying inconsistencies in the
Integrated Payroll Personnel Information System (IPPIS), non-
payment of arrears of minimum wage, delay in renegotiation
with government, NASU and SSANU 2009 agreement, among
others.
It would also be recalled that Chris Ngige, Minister of Labour
and Employment, and other government officials, had met at a
meeting on Wednesday, to address most of the unions’
demands.
NAN also reports that a joint committee was set up to address
anomalies complained of by the unions and they were given
48 hours, to communicate a possible date for the next
meeting.



Outcome
According to Mr Adeyemi, in view of the outcome of the
meeting, the leadership of the JAC of NASU and SSANU at the
branches had been directed to convene joint general meetings
on Friday, February 5.
“This is to give reports on the outcome of the conciliation
meeting and pass resolutions on the way forward. The
resolutions of the branches must reach the respective National
Secretariats on or before Tuesday, February 9.
“In the meantime, the nationwide strike takes effect from 12
midnight, 5 February, 2021, pending any contrary resolution
by the branches,” he said. ( NAN)
