TheAhmadu Bello University branch of the two unions made their stand known whileaddressing a joint press briefing at SSANU secretariat, main campus, Samaru,Zaria, Kaduna State.
SSANUbranch Chairman, Iliyasu Abdur-Ra’uf-Bello said the five days warning strikepresently embarked upon by the two unions was as a result of the inability ofthe federal government to implement the 2009 union/Federal Governmentagreement.
TheChairman lamented that of this N25 billion released by the Federal Governmentto universities, only 20 per cent of it was given to the three non teachingunions of Nigerian universities.
Accordingto him, this singular action of government is not only embarrassing, but it isinsulting and unacceptable, adding that it was one of the reasons why thewarning strike was on.
