Abdulsubur Salaam,
the National Public Relations Officer of SSANU, said during an
interview on Sunday that the associations have been “pushed to the wall” by the
Nigerian government.
“The federal government has been
discussing with the academics but we have been reaching out to them since
before now and they have refused to heed to us,” Mr. Salaam said.
The official listed some of the
problems the unions had with the government.
“The issue of staff school that is
being negotiated and we are not carried along was agreed on by the four unions
in Nigerian varsities; our earned allowances have not been paid too and
branches are really heaping pressure on us, especially on the staff school
issue.
“So full blown strike may be
inevitable as at now. However, we would take that meeting on Wednesday and make
a decision on this there.”
