Abuja – The Nigeria Labour Congress, NLC, and its affiliate unions in the education sector have issued a four-week ultimatum to the Federal Government to resolve all lingering issues affecting the sector, warning that failure to do so would trigger a nationwide workers’ action.

The unions involved include the Academic Staff Union of Universities, ASUU, Senior Staff Association of Nigerian Universities, SSANU, Non-Academic Staff Union of Educational and Associated Institutions, NASU, National Association of Academic Technologists ,NAAT, Academic Staff Union of Polytechnics, ASUP, Senior Staff Association of Nigerian Polytechnics, SSANIP, Academic Staff Union of Research Institutions, ASURI, and the College of Education Staff Union, COESU, among others.
Speaking after a joint meeting in Abuja yesterday , NLC President, Joe Ajaero, said the unions had resolved to act as a united front to end the government’s persistent breach of agreements and neglect of the education sector.
