Just In: Drama As Police Block SSANU, NASU From Protesting Withheld Salaries In Abuja
The members of the Senior Staff Association of Nigerian Universities (SSANU) and the Non-Academic Staff Union of Educational and Associated Institutions (NASU) were on Thursday prevented from embarking on a peaceful protest by the police.
After mobilising members to the Unity fountain, venue for convergence and a pre departure briefing with newsmen, a mild drama occurred when the police used their bullet proof armoured tank to block entrance of the fountain to prevent the aggrieved non-academic workers from proceeding on the protest.
The planned demonstration, organized by the Joint Action Committee of both unions, was aimed at addressing the Federal Government’s failure to pay their members’ salaries for the past four months.
Efforts by the protesters to negotiate their exit were unsuccessful until leaders engaged with Department of State Security (DSS) personnel who eventually allowed a selected group to proceed by vehicle to deliver protest letters to the ministries.
