In October 2023, President Bola Tinubu approved the release of four months of the withheld salaries of public university teaching staff.Left out, non-teaching staff unions including SSANU and NASU accused the government of unfair treatment and discrimination.plannedThe unions have since been at loggerheads with the federal government, initiating talks with the education and labour ministries.
“Since July, we’ve been giving notices and changing dates based on assurances. What is happening is at the finance minister’s doorstep.”
