The Joint Action Committee (JAC) of the Non-Academic Staff Union of Educational and Associated Institutions (NASU) and the Senior Staff Association of Nigerian Universities (SSANU) has issued a seven-day strike notice to the Federal Government over outstanding demands.
The unions threatened to go on strike at the end of the ultimatum, which started on September 15.
The JAC gave the notice in a joint statement by its Chairman, Mohammed Ibrahim, who doubles as SSANU President, and the union’s General Secretary, Prince Peters Adeyemi, in Abuja.
The unions alleged that efforts to address the outstanding demands with the Minister of Education, Dr. Tunji Alausa, have not yielded any positive results.

The unions listed some of the issues as “unjust” disbursement of N50 billion earned allowances; non-payment of outstanding withheld salaries and 25/35 per cent salary increments; and renegotiation of 2009 FGN and NASU/SSANU agreements.
The statement said: “The minister would recall that at the July 4, 2025 meeting to address the afore-stated issues, there was a resolution to the effect that a Tripartite Committee comprising representatives from the Federal Ministry of Education, National Universities Commission (NUC) and JAC of NASU and SSANU would be constituted to resolve the impasse which had arisen due to the skewed distribution of the N50 billion Earned Allowances in which our members in the universities were shortchanged, while those in the Inter-University Centres were completely shut out of the distribution.
