Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>The Senior Staff Association of Nigerian Universities, SSANU, Taraba State University, TSU, chapter, has issued a two-week ultimatum to Governor Agbu Kefas and the university management to address outstanding agreements contained in a Memorandum of Action, MoA, or risk a total and indefinite strike.<\/p>\n

The warning, which was contained in a communique\u0301 issued at the end of the union\u2019s congress, was jointly signed by its chairperson, Comrade Bitrus Joseph Ajibauka, and secretary, Mamki Joshua Atein.<\/p>\n

SSANU accused the state government of failing to honour the MoA reached on January 25, 2025, which stipulated that a meeting with union leaders would be held by the first week of February to develop a payment plan for pending arrears.<\/p>\n

Describing the delay as a \u201cclear violation\u201d of the agreement\u2019s tenets, the union said the government\u2019s inaction could trigger the resumption of the strike it suspended on January 26, 2025, after more than a month of industrial action.<\/p>\n

SSANU\u2019s demands include the payment of outstanding September and October 2022 salaries; settlement of withheld portions of June, November, and December 2022 salaries; payment of 90% of accumulated Earned Administrative Allowances (EAA); and activation of the approved State-Defined Pension Scheme for TSU staff, including benefits for deceased and retired employees.<\/p>\n

The communique\u0301 also noted that a reminder letter was sent to the state government on February 14, 2025, but no action was taken.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe inaction of the Taraba State government and the University Management is a clear violation of the MoA.<\/p>\n

Failure to meet our demands within two weeks from August 7 will leave the union with no choice but to resume the earlier suspended strike,\u201d the communique\u0301 read.<\/p>\n

If the ultimatum expires without resolution, SSANU said it will act \u201cin line with its constitution and extant laws.\u201d<\/p>\n
