The National Association of Academic Technologists (NAAT) has given the Federal Government(FG) a two weeks ultimatum to address seven pending issues or face indefinite strike.
The union therefore directed all its branches in Universities, Polytechnics and Colleges of Education to hold a nationwide protest on November 6 to drive home its demands. The organisation will thereafter picket the Ministry of Finance on November 14.
The President of NAAT, Ibeji Nwokoma, raised the observations during a press conference in Abuja after its 56th National Executive Council (NEC) meeting.
Among the issues in contention include non-payment of over five months withheld salaries; non-full implementation of the 2009 agreement with the Federal Government; non-payment of arrears of minimum wage of omitted members for the period of April 2019 to January 2020 and demand to address the proliferation and poor funding of public universities.
