The non teaching staff of universities have suspended their three-week old national strike.
The Senior Staff Association of Nigerian Universities (SSANU) and Non-Academic Staff Union (NASU) under the aegis of the Joint Action Committee (JAC) had embarked on a nationwide strike on February 5, 2021 to compel the Federal Government to address their demands.
Both unions announced the suspension at the end of a meeting with the Federal Government team led by Labour and Employment Minister, Chris Ngige.
The two parties say considerable progress has been made in the realisation of the demands of the non academic workers.
The demands include rectification of the irregularities associated with the payment system, IPPIS, release of earned allowance and visitation panels to the universities.
