They sang songs and held up signs to show their complaints to the Federal Government about not getting paid their salaries.
The JAC of SSANU and NASU has been raising concerns with the government for about a month, pointing out their exclusion from the salary payments that started for the Academic Staff Union of Universities in February.
Naija News recalls that during the tenure of former President Muhammadu Buhari, the ASUU, SSANU, and NAATS faced salary withholding due to the implementation of a ‘No Work, No Pay policy.’
