The circular signed by NASU’s Secretary-General, Peters Adeyemi; and SSANU’s National President, Muhammed Ibrahim, partly reads, “The National Joint Action Committee of NASU and SSANU held a zoom meeting on Monday, November 8, 2021, to review the latest development in our universities and inter-university centers.

“We have decided that all our branches should mandatorily call a general meeting of NASU and SSANU on Wednesday, November 10, 2021, and from there commence a three-day protest from Wednesday, November 10, 2021, to Friday, November 12, 2021.

“The protest should be centered on the proposed provocative sharing formula to be used for the next tranche of N22.17 billion to be released by the Federal government at the rate of 75 percent to academic and 25 percent to non-teaching staff.

“It should also be centered on the refusal of the Federal government to pay the arrears of the minimum wage consequential agreement as at the last meeting with the Federal Government on August 26, 2021.”

The leadership asked that the protest should be within the campuses and that each branch should determine the activities that will be carried out on each day of the protest.
