Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>The Federal Government says members of the Senior Staff Association of Nigerian Universities, SSANU, and the Non-Academic Staff Union, NASU, will get half of their withheld salaries should President Bola Tinubu approve the payment of their salary arrears.<\/p>\n

The Minister of Education, Tahir Mamman, revealed this on Channels Television\u2019s Politics Today on Wednesday monitored.<\/p>\n

The minister said the non-academic staff members of universities were not on strike for the same period in 2022 as their academic counterparts.<\/p>\n

He stated that the government has been doing everything possible to get a relief for them.<\/p>\n

Asked what has delayed the payment to NASU and SSANU members, Mamman said, \u201cNo, it has not been approved.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere is a court judgement on no work, no pay. ASUU getting four months\u2019 pay was actually a discretion and decision on the part of the President. So, it doesn\u2019t automatically transfer (to NASU and SSANU) but the matter is under consideration.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t think it is safe to put a time on it but it\u2019s safer to say that we are on it and we are pushing.<\/p>\n

While speaking on the claim of discrimination by NASU and SSANU, the minister said, \u201cThat cannot be right, there is no rating. These are people working in the same terrain, they are doing different things but all working towards the same goal.<\/p>\n

DAILY POST reports that in March, SSANU and NASU members embarked on a one-week warning strike to protest their withheld salaries by the Federal Government.<\/p>\n

The two unions criticized the Federal Government for paying withheld salaries to the Academic Staff Union of Universities, ASUU, while neglecting the non-academic unions.<\/p>\n

All the unions had embarked on an eight-month strike in 2022 to press home some of their demands including a better welfare package.<\/p>\n

The immediate past administration of President Muhammadu Buhari subsequently invoked a \u2018No Work, No Pay policy\u2019 against the unions but President Bola Tinubu last October approved the release of four of the eight months withheld salaries.<\/p>\n

SSANU and NASU accused the Federal Government of unfair treatment and discrimination by failing to pay them like their academic counterparts.<\/p>\n
