The Senior Staff Association of Nigerian Universities, SSANU, has issued a fresh 14-day ultimatum to the Federal Government to complete the payment of arrears contained in the 2026 agreement reached with the union or face indefinite strike action.
SSANU President, Mohammed Ibrahim, announced the decision during a press briefing in Abuja while presenting resolutions reached at the union’s National Executive Council, NEC, meeting held at the Federal University, Uyo, Akwa Ibom State, over the weekend.
According to Ibrahim, although the 2026 agreement clearly outlined modalities for resolving lingering issues affecting members, the implementation of arrears payments remained uneven across universities.
He accused the government of making the payments in a haphazard manner and warned that the union would no longer tolerate delays.
