We are not Suspending strike Today – SSANU, NASU Disclosed
The Senior Staff Association of Nigerian Universities, SSANU, and the Non-Academic Staff Union of Educational and Associated Institutions NASU, has deny report of suspending it’s strike today.
Speaking with Journalist yesterday, the National President of SSANU, Mohammed Ibrahim, said those saying the unions had agreed to call off the strike were not saying what truly transpired at the weekend meeting the unions held with the government team.
He said;
“Even though those speculating that used the words ‘likely to call off the strike’, but that is still not the true position of things.
We did not make such a promise. What happened at the meeting was that the government team made some offers to us and as representatives of our people, our duty is to take the offers to our people.
“Those speculating that are just trying to do their jobs to please those who sent them.
Their job is to prevent strike from taking place, but now we have a full blown strike on hand.
After our meeting, there was no way we would have reported the outcome of the meeting and the offers to our members, as the weekend had set in and now to think we would likely call off the strike on Monday is not feasible.
“What is going to happen is that on Wednesday, we are going to meet with our people and get their opinions about the offers made.
They are the ones who gave us the mandate for all we are doing and they are the oneSees to determine the next line of action,”he said.
