The long-awaited resumption of university students may be disrupted again as university workers, under the auspices of National Association of Academic Technologists (NAAT), have issued a 14-day strike notice to the Federal Government over the disparity in allocation of N40 billion earned allowance.
The varsity workers vowed to go on strike if after the 14 days ultimatum, the Federal Government failed to attend properly to their demands and resolve their grievances.
They were protesting the disparity in sharing of the N40 billion earned allowance released to the four university-based unions, which include the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU), the Senior Staff Association of Nigerian University (SSANU), the Non-Academic Staff Union of Educational and Associated Institutions (NASU) and NAAT.
