The Non-Academic Staff Union of Educational and Associated Institutions (NASU) and Senior Staff Association of Nigeria Universities (SSANU) have commenced a one day nationwide protest over their four-month withheld salaries.
Their protest has led to disruption in administrative work in universities and inter – university Centres.
As early as 7:30am, the union members converged on the popular Unity Fountain, Abuja from where they would march on the Federal Ministries of Education and Labour and Employment.
General Secretary of NASU, Peters Adeyemi said letters would be presented to both ministries.
The workers are asking the Federal Government to pay “us what you owe us.”
