The National President, SSANU, Comrade  Mohammed H. Ibrahim, and Comrade General Secretary, NASU, Peter A. Adeyemi, who disclosed this to journalists, explained they extended the strike for one month. It would be known that the Joint Action Committee of NASU and SSANU, on Friday again extended their 14-day warning strike in Nigerian universities by one month.

 SSANU National President, Comrade Mohammed H. Ibrahim, and General Secretary, NASU, Comrade Peter A. Adeyemi, disseminated the news to the branches.

Asserting the reason for the extension, Adeyemi said, “It was unfortunate that the government had kept mute and remained indifferent to the demands of the JAC of NASU and SSANU.

“Deriving from the feedback received from our branches in respect of the resolutions conducted which supported fully the ongoing strike and other actions taken by the leadership of JAC, this is to inform members that the strike has been extended by one month to commence at midnight of Sunday, 24th April 2022, pending when the Federal government would have change of heart and be favorably disposed to our demands as highlighted in our letters dated March 1st, 2022, to the representative of the government, the Hon. Minister of Labour and Employment.”

The two unions who also reviewed the “No work no pay” threat by the representative of the government, Dr. Chris Ngige, Minister of Labour and Employment, reiterated their demands to stand on their ground unless their demands are met.
