The Senior Staff Association of Nigerian Universities (SSANU) has commenced a 7-day warning strike in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), with members at the University of Abuja blocking the entrance to the university gate on Monday.
In a video circulating on social media, SSANU members are seen gathered at the university gate, preventing access to the premises as part of their industrial action.
The association called the strike action to protest certain grievances concerning their welfare and working conditions.
The video footage shared by Vanguard on X showed SSANU members holding placards and banners with various messages expressing their dissatisfaction with the current state of affairs.
The association also demanded action from relevant authorities to address their concerns.
SSANU’s warning strike is expected to last seven days. During this time, the union will engage in various activities to press home its demands.
This includes blocking access to university premises, as seen in the video.
SSANU represents a significant portion of non-academic staff in Nigerian universities and plays a crucial role in the smooth functioning of academic institutions.
