Africa-Press<\/a> – Nigeria<\/a>. <\/strong><\/span>The Senior Staff Association of Nigeria Universities (SSANU) has claimed it was under pressure to resume its suspended strike after the Federal Government failed to fulfil its promises at expiration of the April 30 deadline.<\/p>\n

SSANU claimed the government had yet to commence payment of the consequential adjustments for the new national minimum wage and the allowances encapsulated in the earned allowance.<\/p>\n

The union\u2019s President, Mohammed Ibrahim revealed this in an interview with journalists in Abuja over the weekend.<\/p>\n

According to Ibrahim, SSANU members are agitated over the delay in implementing the agreement, stressing that the union officials were under pressure to \u201creturn to the trench.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAs you are aware, our demands are not new demands. These are things that have been lingering for 11 years. We had an agreement with government in 2009 and until today, a lot of such issues are still lagging behind; especially things that involve some payments of our allowances.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe saw reasons to suspend (our strike) because we felt government was sincere and the timelines given \u2013 not us was that by end of April, most of these issues will be sorted.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe still believe miracle can happen. Outside that, a lot of our members are agitated, we are under a lot of pressure to go back to the trenches because even when we called our members to interact with them, we impressed on them to give government a chance,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
