Members of the Joint Action Committee of Non-Academic Staff Union and Senior Staff Association of Nigeria Universities, University of Lagos, branch, booed and threw sachets of pure water at their leaders who addressed them during a protest on Wednesday.
The PUNCH had reported that the leadership of JAC of SSANU/NASU, in a statement on Saturday, asked all its members nationwide to resume on Wednesday.
However, the UNILAG branch members protested the suspension of the strike.
The JAC of NASU and SSANU embarked on national industrial action on March 27, 2022 and called it off on August 20, 2022.
Some members of JAC of SSANU and NASU, who spoke with our correspondents, said a congress was supposed to be held before the suspension of the strike.
The aggrieved UNILAG members wielded various placards with inscriptions, ‘We have no confidence in the national leaders of NASU/SSANU,’ ‘We are tired of general secretary, Adeyemi Peters and Mohammed Ibrahim of SSANU, they must go!’, We are civil servants, not slaves,’ and ‘NASU SSANU say, no salary, no resumption’ among others.
The crisis escalated when some of the protesters chased away their executives and attempted to beat them up.
