Negotiate For Your Members, ASUU tells SSANU, Others
By Ozumi Abdul
The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) has enjoined Senior Staff Association of Nigerian University (SSANU) and other tertiary institution-based unions to negotiate for their members after the former discovered plots by the federal government to pit other unions against them.
Recall that SSANU had on Tuesday warned Prof. Nimi-Briggs-led Committee renegotiating the 2009 Agreement with ASUU that it would not accept any disparity in salaries of university staff.

In reaction to SSANU’s stand, the President of ASUU, Prof. Emmanuel Osodeke, however advised other unions in the universities to negotiate for their members.
“We don’t talk about them (SSANU and others) as a union. They should go and negotiate for their members because they are different unions. What the government is trying to do is just to create divisions between us.
“If that is what they want, we don’t want to be part of it. They should go and negotiate for their members; that’s all! The two unions don’t negotiate the same thing,’’ he said.
President of SSANU, Mohammed Ibrahim, had warned that the proposed salary disparity by the Nimi-Briggs Committee for the university staff would cause fresh problems in the university systems.
