By Amina Mohammed, Lafia
The non teaching staff of the Federal University of Lafia have joined in the one-week national strike declared by the national body of the Senior Staff Association of Nigerian Universities.
Leaders of the various unions of the non academic staff of the university trooped to the main gates of the take-off and permanent sites of the school in Lafia to ensure none of their members had access to the campuses of the institution.
The University workers were displaying placards with comments that included ” Pay Us Our Four Months Withheld Salaries,” Non-Teaching Staff of Universities are Equally Important,” and “Refusing to Pay Us Our Salaries is an Act of Victimization.”
The Chairman Senior Staff Association of Nigerian Universities, Federal University of Lafia branch Comrade Daniel Dajen while briefing journalists said that they had resolved to comply fully with the directive to embark on a one-week nationwide strike due to non-payment of their four months withheld salaries.
He called on the teaching staff of the university to remain steadfast in the course of the struggle and stay away from their duty posts until further directives.
