UNILAG Operations Halted As SSANU, NASU Protest Withheld Salaries

University of Lagos (UNILAG) operations grind to a halt as non-academic staff unions begin seven-day warning strike.

In October 2023, President Bola Tinubu ordered payments of four months’ salaries to university workers who went on extended strike in 2022.

The SSANU and NASU Joint Action Committee instruct members to commence warning strike due to four months of withheld salaries.

Early Wednesday, the institution’s branch of SSANU and NASU in compliance with the directive of its national bodies, locked one of the main gates which affected the entry and exit of vehicles on the campuses.

This also affected vehicular movements into the school and also caused congestion along the UNILAG route.

   

Some lecture halls and offices were also locked hindering academic activities.

The members gathered at the institution’s gate for a peaceful protest” and to register their displeasure.

Some of them held placards with inscriptions such as “Pay us our money!”, “JAC Demands the immediate payment of withheld salaries”.

Other placards had inscriptions: “FGN pay our four months’ salaries without delay!’’ and “Pay us our 4 months salaries!’’
