SSANU Threatens Indefinite Strike Over FG’s 30% Salary Increment Plan.

Published

on

The Federal Government has approved a 30 per cent salary increase for non-academic staff in federal universities, polytechnics, and colleges of education, in a move aimed at addressing long-standing welfare concerns in the education sector.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶

The decision is intended to improve the conditions of service for administrative and technical workers in higher institutions. It comes after years of agitation by unions over pay disparities, unpaid entitlements, and following a recent 40 per cent salary adjustment granted to academic staff.

The approval was contained in a letter dated March 30, 2026, signed by the Minister of Education, Dr. Tunji Alausa. It stated that the increase would be implemented through a consolidated allowance structure for non-teaching staff.

Relevant education agencies were directed to begin implementation based on guidelines attached to the memo.

However, the Senior Staff Association of Nigerian Universities (SSANU) has rejected the development, insisting that negotiations with the government are still ongoing and no final agreement has been reached.

Following a National Executive Council meeting in Abuja, the union dismissed reports suggesting a concluded deal, saying discussions were still in progress.

SSANU also expressed concern over a circulating letter on the salary adjustment, arguing that it does not reflect the outcome of negotiations so far.

The union maintained it would not accept any arrangement that does not follow due process and agreed terms, stressing the need for fairness in the negotiation process.

It also reiterated its earlier warning, giving the Federal Government until April 30, 2026, to conclude talks or risk an indefinite strike in collaboration with NASU.

Members were advised to remain alert and await further directives from the union leadership.

In a post shared on X on Saturday, he condemned those calling out other Igbos over their political support for the president’s second-term bid.

Edochie also questioned why similar energy is not directed at supporters from other parts of the country who back Tinubu.

He further suggested that selective criticism reflects bias and misplaced anger among those targeting fellow Igbos.

He wrote: “Any Igbo man that is dragging his fellow Igbo man for supporting President TINUBU, that person is a monkey and a coward.
