SSANU Warns Of Another Strike In Varsities
Another imminent strike across universities has been notified by the Senior Staff Association of Nigerian Universities (SSANU).
The body put the blame on the Presidency for the continual strike in universities, warning that workers and various unions will go on another strike soon until the right things are done.
The Alex Ekwueme Federal University Ndufu Alike Ịkwọ(AE-FUNAI) chapter of SSANU gave the warning while presenting its memoranda to the school’s visitation panel.
While presenting the association’s memoranda to the panel’s Chairman, Amb Usman Sariki, the AE-FUNAI SSANU chairman, Emma Chigbata, stated that university system is dying in the country.
He identified poor funding as well as divide- and -rule system as some of the reasons for the rot in the system, by the federal government in its dealings with various unions.
“The Federal Government has no respect for agreements. Many agreements it entered into with various unions none of them have been fulfilled,” he said.

He warned that if the situation is not properly handled, it may result to break down of law and order in the universities.
“Very soon students will rise against staff and teachers because of incessant strikes,” he warned.
Chigbata expressed pessimism at the ability of the visitation panels set up for all the Federal government universities to solve the problem.
He also complained on workers salaries that were slashed following the introduction of the Integrated Payroll and Personal Information System (IPPIS) by the Federal government.
“IPPIS slashed the salary of workers. It is now peanuts. Staff cannot afford to feed and pay house rents. Staff now borrow money to feed and take care of their needs,” he lamented.
Responding to the allegation, Amb Saraki said the panel is not an investigative panel but a fact-finding panel.
“We are not here to witch hunt anybody but to find out the true situation of things and advice government appropriately on how to improve the university system,” he said.
