The Senior Staff Association of Nigerian Universities (SSANU) and Non-Academic Staff Union (NASU), under the Joint Action Committee (JAC), have directed members to embark on a nationwide protest on Thursday, October 9, 2025.
The protest is in response to the Federal Government’s continued failure to address key issues, including:
- Alleged lopsided sharing of ₦50bn earned allowances
- Non-renegotiation of the 2009 agreement
- Unpaid two-month salaries
- Arrears from 25% and 35% salary increments
- Unremitted third-party deductions for May & June 2022
Branches have been instructed to hold emergency meetings and mobilise members for campus-wide demonstrations, including placard marches and press briefings.
The unions say the move follows several failed ultimatums and little progress in dialogue with the education ministry.
