UNIZIK SSANU, NASU Members Join Seven-Day Warning Strike

 

Members of the Senior Staff Association of Nigerian Universities and Non-Academic Staff Union of Nigerian Universities of the institution at the  Nnamdi Azikiwe University, Awka, on Monday brought administrative activities at the school to a halt.

 

This is as they joined the seven-day nationwide warning strike.

 

The groups said they are embarking on the strike to press home their demands as regards unfair treatment and disparity in the payment of salaries by the federal government.

 

Members of the groups marched around the institution’s campus while on enforcement to ensure compliance among their members.

 

Speaking to journalists, the institution’s Secretary of SSANU, Bonny Ozonkwuaku, said they were in total compliance with the national directive to observe the seven-day warning strike.

 

Ozonkwuaku said, “As it stands now, all our offices at the Administration Block, classrooms, faculties, departments of works and maintenance, security, and students’ affairs units are all under lock and key, and that will be the case for the next seven days until and unless the needful is done.

 

The unions threatened to shut down hostels and power supply in universities across the country if the Federal Government failed to meet their demands before the end of Monday.
