Strike: Pay our withheld salaries -SSANU, NASU tell Finance Minister Edun

 


Striking university unions – the Senior Staff Association of Nigerian Universities, SSANU, and the Non-Academic Staff Union of Educational and Associated Institutions, NASU – have asked the Minister of Finance and Coordinating Minister of the Economy, Wale Edun, to pay their four months’ withheld salaries, following approval of the payment by President Bola Tinubu.

The unions said they would not meet or negotiate with the Federal Government, charging the finance minister to do the needful and remit the withheld salaries electronically to all their members.

While speaking on Channels Television’s The Morning Show programme on Tuesday, SSANU President, Muhammed Ibrahim said the President had approved, and the Ministry of Education had conveyed the approval, stressing that it is within the precinct of the Ministry of Finance to do what is required of it.
