Breaking: SSANU, NASU begin strike May 1

The Joint Action Committee (JAC) of the Senior Staff Association of Nigerian Universities (SSANU) and the Non-Academic Staff Union of Educational and Associated Institutions (NASU) has directed members to commence an indefinite strike starting May 1, 2026. This decision follows the federal government's withdrawal of its 30% salary increase offer and the failure of negotiations on the 2009 Renegotiation Agreement during the April 29 meeting. A circular to branch chairmen declared the strike as 'total and comprehensive'.
