University of Lagos‘ Senior Staff Association of Nigeria Universities and the Non-Academic Staff Union of Universities and other Allied Institutions have kicked against the decision to suspend the workers’ strike by the unions’ national leadership.
The protesters, who booed the representatives of the unions’ national leadership during a congress on the campus on Wednesday, also violently chased away the branch chairmen of both NASU and SSANU and other executive committee members.
They said they were not party to the decision to suspend the strike without payment of the withheld five-month salaries during the industrial action, and vowed to continue the strike.
They accused the leadership of the unions of being bribed by the government.
But the National Vice-President of SSANU, Abdulssobur Salaam, who addressed the angry crowd at the university, said the issues have been resolved and that normalcy has already returned.
