Non Teaching staff in tertiary institutions in Nigeria, have
advised the Federal Government to ignore the Memorandum of Understanding
it entered into with the striking lecturers on the aegis of Academic
Staff Union of Universities,
ASUU, saying its implementation would lead to another round of crisis.
The Non Teaching Staff comprising Non-Academic Staff Union of Education and Associated Institutions,
NASU, National Association of Academic Technologists,
NAAT, and Senior Staff Association of Nigerian Universities,
SSANU rather advised government to implement the 2009 agreements it entered with the unions in tertiary institutions.
In a statement signed by Samson Ugwoke, President of SSANU and
spokesperson of NAAT, SSANU and NASU tited, ‘Our stand on the on-going
ASUU strike’, the unions sympathised with ASUU but noted that the MoU
was not in the best interest of the education sector.
”However, we caution that any settlement of the current dispute must
take into account the interests of all the university-based unions
(NAAT, SSANU, NASU and ASUU). The three Non-Teaching Staff Unions of
NAAT, SSANU and NASU are opposed to any extraneous demands by either
ASUU or any group in the university which are prejudicial to the welfare
of our members.
