Administrative activities were, yesterday, paralysed at University of Nigeria Nsukka (UNN), as Senior Staff Association of Nigerian Universities (SSANU) and Non-Academic Staff Union of Educational Associated Institutions (NASU) joined their counterparts in a seven-day nationwide warning strike.
They said that the warning strike, called by their national Joint Action Committee (JAC), was to protest the Federal Government’s failure to pay members four months withheld salaries during their strike in 2022.
Addressing members during an emergency congress at UNN, branch Chairmen of SSANU and NASU, Dr Linus Akata and Ekene Amu, respectively, said that the emergency congress was to inform their members about the seven-day nationwide warning strike.
Akata said that the strike would be total and comprehensive in UNN in compliance with the directive of the national leadership. He said that all the administrative offices and essential service sections of the university were already under lock and key.
He warned that the unions would deal decisively with any member found defaulting or sabotaging the warning strike.
He said: “Members are directed to go home immediately after this congress and stay away from work until the seven-day warning strike ends, as any defaulting member will be decisively dealt with.
“This warning strike is total and comprehensive as the administrative block of the UNN, offices, works department, University Medical Centre, University Primary School, among others, have been shut down till the end of the strike.
