The Senior Staff Association of Nigerian Universities (SSANU) and the Non-Academic Staff Union of Educational and Associated Institutions (NASU) have issued a seven-day ultimatum to the government over unresolved issues affecting non-academic staff in universities.
In a letter dated 12 September, 2025, the two unions condemned the “unjust” disbursement of earned allowances to university staff, the non-payment of outstanding allowances, and other unresolved issues.
The letter signed by the president of SSANU, Muhammed Ibrahim, and general secretary of NASU, Peters Adeyemi, reminded the Minister of Education, Tunji Alausa, of a June 18, 2025, letter from the Joint Action Committee (JAC) of NASU and SSANU.
The letter highlighted the urgent need for intervention in outstanding labor matters affecting their members.
The union noted that this letter prompted the Minister to convene a meeting with the JAC of NASU and SSANU on July 4, 2025, aimed at addressing the issues raised.
