The Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) has pressed for the immediate disbursement of the four months’ salaries withheld from the Non-Academic Staff Union of Educational (NASU) and Associated Institutions, as well as the Senior Staff Association of Nigerian Universities (SSANU).
Comrade Joe Ajaero, NLC President, emphasized in a statement that the rationale behind withholding their salaries lacked credibility or justification.
Comrade Ajaero elucidated that this action has inflicted severe hardship and discrimination on the affected members.
He underscored, “The toll on all parties will be unacceptably high, especially for students and parents who bear the burden of movement on the roads.”
Comrade Ajaero urged the federal government to promptly settle their outstanding dues.
Commencing on Monday, the unions initiated a seven-day warning strike to press for the release of their withheld salaries.
