NASU, SSANU begin nationwide indefinite strike Friday over allowances

Joint Action Committee of NASU and SSANU confirms nationwide indefinite strike starting Friday midnight (May 1, 2026) due to Federal Government's failure to conclude renegotiations and present fresh offer on allowances. The strike follows withdrawal of contentious 30% increase in Consolidated Non-Teaching Tools Allowance that didn't resolve core issues. Universities nationwide will experience disruptions to administrative services as unions demand faster renegotiation process. No alternative proposal has been made to replace withdrawn allowance. Students and staff should prepare for potential disruptions to university services. With this indefinite strike starting Friday, how will you adjust plans for university services or administrative needs?
