The Joint Action Committee comprising the Senior Staff Association of Nigerian Universities and the Non-Academic Staff Union at the Federal University of Technology, Owerri, has joined their counterparts across the country in a nationwide protest against the Federal Government’s failure to implement key agreements.
The protesting unions, carrying placards and chanting solidarity songs, expressed deep frustration over what they described as the government’s persistent neglect of their welfare and demands.
The protest is part of a coordinated national action by SSANU and NASU aimed at drawing attention to unresolved issues affecting their members.
They warned that the current protest serves as a precursor to a full-blown industrial action should the Federal Government fail to act swiftly to address their concerns.
