Calabar — Senior Staff Association of Nigerian Universities, SSANU, has in Calabar, Cross River State, threatened a nationwide strike over perceived “obnoxious circular” by the National Universities Commission, NUC, “to obliterate the sanctity of the 2009 FGN/University-based union’s Agreement.”

In a communiqué after its National Executive Council, NEC, meeting in Calabar, SSANU accused NUC of unilaterally expunging through a circular the aspect of the agreement on university demonstration staff schools.

It also lamented the failure of government to pay the outstanding arrears of the Earned Allowance.

The union equally condemned the lackadaisical attitude of the Federal Government in implementing the 2009 agreement despite persistent call on the government and the Implementation Monitoring Committee, IMC, for the full implementation and payment of the arrears of the Earned Allowance.
