The Joint Action Committee (JAC), of Senior Staff Association of Nigerian Universities, SSANU; Non-Academic Staff Union of Universities, NASU and the National Association of Academic Technologists (NAAT), made this known yesterday in Abuja. President of SSANU, Samson Ugwoke, explained that the strike was as a result of Federal Government’s failure to honour the agreement it entered into with the non teaching staff unions in 2009 on a variety of issues confronting the university system, including welfare. According to him, these agreements were freely entered into through the instrumentality of collective bargaining. “Following the agreements, we had for eight years, patiently and understandingly awaited action from government to consummate the terms of the agreements. Unfortunately, government has not been responsive to these issues and where actions appear to have been taken on any of them, they have been implemented in the breach. “In between time, we had engaged in various consultations and dialogue with government on the issues at stake. Letters had been written, and protests had been made to no avail Through various organs of government, particularly the offices of the Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF), Ministry of Education and Ministry of Labour and Employment, we had made representations on our issues which have largely been ignored. “Rather than heed to our demands, matters have continued to worsen. Our universities have continued to deteriorate. The poor governance system in the universities which brought the universities to their knees has perpetrated itself to the point that our rankings amongst the comity of world-class universities are deplorable. “If an agreement was signed in 2009 and now in 2017, we are still demanding for the implementation of such agreement, does it not show that we have been exceedingly patient? Our patience however seems to have run to an end, particularly when the Federal Government appears to be toeing the dangerous path of taking the non-teaching staff unions for granted.]]>
