The non-teaching staff of the Federal University of Lafia has joined the one-week nationwide strike announced by the Non-Academic Staff Union of Educational and Associated Institutions (NASU) and the national organisation of the Senior Staff Association of Nigerian Universities (SSANU).
To make sure that none of their members could enter the school’s campuses, the heads of the several unions convened at the main entrances to the launch and permanent locations in Lafia.
The University workers were seen displaying placards with messages that included “Pay Us Our Four Months Withheld Salaries,” “Non-Teaching Staff of Universities are Equally Important,” and “Refusing to Pay Us Our Salaries is an Act of Victimization.”
