Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>Academic and non-academic staff of higher education institutions in Nasarawa State, under the Joint Unions of Nasarawa State Tertiary Institutions, JUNSTI, have announced plans to embark on an indefinite strike starting Monday, February 10, over the non-implementation of salary adjustments and promotions.<\/p>\n

The affected institutions include Isa Mustapha Agwai I Polytechnic, Lafia; College of Agriculture, Science & Technology, Lafia; and College of Education, Akwanga.<\/p>\n

In a statement signed by JUNSTI Chairman, Samson Kale Gbande, and Secretary, Paul Olotu, the union cited the failure of the state government to implement the N30,000 minimum wage consequential adjustment, promotions, and the newly approved N70,500 minimum wage.<\/p>\n

\u201cArising from an emergency meeting held on February 4, 2025, the Joint Unions of Nasarawa State Tertiary Institutions (JUNSTI) have resolved to embark on a two-week warning strike commencing from 12:00 midnight on Sunday, February 9, to Thursday, February 27, 2025,\u201d the statement read.<\/p>\n

The union accused the state government of ignoring their repeated demands and letters, including an ultimatum issued on January 15, 2025.<\/p>\n

According to Kale, multiple attempts to engage the government in dialogue have failed, leaving them with no choice but to proceed with industrial action.<\/p>\n

The striking unions include ASUP, ASUCOAST, COAESU, SSANIP, SSUCOEN, and NASU, all of whom have vowed to remain on strike until their demands are met.<\/p>\n
