The Digest:
The Joint Action Committee (JAC) of NASU and SSANU has directed its members to embark on an indefinite strike from May 1, 2026. The unions cited the federal government's slow pace in renegotiating the 2009 agreement with non-academic staff, despite concluding a similar process with ASUU in December. The strike notice came a day after a meeting with the education minister.
Key Points:
- The strike affects all universities and inter-university centres nationwide.
- The unions said only "full approval of our demands" would be acceptable.
- A meeting with the education minister did not stop the strike action.
- ASUU concluded its renegotiation with the government in December.
- The strike begins at 12:00 am on May 1, 2026.
University activities face disruption as non-academic staff withdraw services.
