Sokoto SSANU Begins Warning Strike Over Unpaid Entitlements

The Sokoto State University chapter of SSANU has begun a five-working-day warning strike after a 14-working-day ultimatum over unpaid entitlements expired. The union, led by Ismail Bala Muhammed and Mansur Ahmad, says the state government rejected arrears tied to a 25 per cent salary increase and proposed implementing the CONTTA allowance from January 2027, subject to budget provision. After meetings and repeated appeals failed to resolve the dispute, SSANU threatened an indefinite strike if its demands are not met.
