The Joint Action Committee of Non-Academic Staff Union
(NASU) and Senior Staff Association of Nigerian Universities
(SSANU) has commenced a three-day national protest.
The protests follow an earlier statement by the NASU General
Secretary, Peters Adeyemi, and the SSANU President, Mohammed
Ibrahim calling on all members in branches of Universities and
Inter-University centres across the nation to embark on industrial
action.
The protesters in Abuja comprising members occupied the main
gate of UNIABUJA Main Campus.
The members are protesting over irregularities in Integrated
Payroll Personnel Information System (IPPIS) payments, non-payment
of Earned Allowances, non-payment of arrears in minimum wage among
others.

They are also protesting the sharing formula of the N70 billion
given the universities by the Federal Government.
They insist that the 75 percent and 25 percent sharing formula
for the earned allowances does not favour their members.
Other issues include the delay in the renegotiation of FGN, NASU
and SSANU 2009 agreement, non-payment of retirement benefits of
outgone members, neglect and poor funding of state universities,
and non-constitution of visitation panels for universities.

nation’s capital:
