The Senior Staff Association of Nigerian Universities and the Non-Academic Staff Union, on Monday, declared a seven-day warning strike, compounding the woes of the administration of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

The Union said the decision to embark on the seven-day strike was to press home their demand for the payment of the withheld salaries of their members by the Federal Government after the 2022 nationwide strike.

President of SSANU, Mohammed Ibrahim who read the Communiqué of the meeting to journalists in Abuja on Monday, noted that the decision to embark on the warning strike was taken as a last resort since several protest letters and other communications with the Federal Government, did not result in the payment of the withheld salaries.

He revealed that the development followed the resolution of the joint action committee of the two unions after a meeting held in Akure on Saturday and Sunday.
