Eyes Of Lagos gathered that three other non-academic union had embarked on the strike, the Senior Staff Association of Nigeria Universities (SSANU), Non Academic Staff Union of Universities and Associated Institutions (NASU) and National Association of Academic Technologists (NAAT).
Meanwhile National President of SSANU, Samson Ugwoke, has said that the union’s strike is as a result of the Federal Government’s failure to take action on the Sept. 20 Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) it signed with the unions.
“Most of our people were laid off unjustifiably; they are yet to be reinstated in the university’s payroll. “We are tired of being tossed around or seen as not important in the running of the university. We are as important as any other union within the system and need to be given that recognition.
“After several negotiations with the government, we expected that it sees the need to honour whatever agreement reached, but the reverse is the case,” Mr. Ugwoke, also the Chairman of the JAC, said.
