SSANU has suspended the strike embarked
upon last week. This strike was due to failure of FG to pay their
salaries for two months. The Federal Government has now complied with
their demands and the strike has been called off. The Senior Staff
Association of Nigerian Universities (SSANU) has announced the
suspension of its week-long strike.
The suspension of the strike is
contained in a statement issued in Abuja on Friday and signed by the
association’s National Secretary, Mr Promise Adewusi.
It said that the decision to suspend the
strike was informed by the Federal Government’s compliance with the
association’s demands.
“Following substantial compliance to our
demand for the payment of August and September salaries of our members
which is the reason for our current national strike action, we hereby
suspend the strike and direct all our members to return to their duties
with effect from Monday, the 14th of October, 2013.”
The statement thanked members of the
association for their solidarity, adding that the non payment of the
salaries of its members for work done would not happen again. (NAN)
