Federal government pays eight months of arrears to SSANU, averting a strike
SSANU president Mohammed Ibrahim said the federal government released eight months of salary arrears under the 2026 agreement, averting a planned strike (Nairametrics, Business Post). He told members to confirm payment with their universities and report any shortfall. The sources did not say whether NASU was paid or give amounts.
A strike by non-teaching staff can shut campuses just as lecturers' disputes do.
Campuses are less likely to close for this dispute.
Unions say pressure works.
Government says it keeps agreements.
Note the amount is not published.
