SSANU President Mohammed Ibrahim announced the decision on Monday during an interview on Channels Television's News Track. He explained that the strike was a last resort, prompted by the government's ongoing failure to resolve the unions' long-standing issues, particularly the non-payment of four months' salaries.
Key Demands of the Unions:
- Immediate payment of the four months' outstanding salaries.
- Resolution of other unresolved matters impacting university staff.
Despite multiple negotiation efforts with government representatives, including both the former and current ministers of education, the unions have reached a stalemate. The strike is likely to severely disrupt academic activities across the country until their demands are met.
