The National Association of Academic Technologists (NAAT) has issued a 14-day ultimatum to the federal government, urging immediate action on its outstanding demands or risk an indefinite strike.
NAAT president, Comrade Ibeji Nwokoma, announced the ultimatum on Wednesday during a peaceful protest at the University of Maiduguri (Unimaid).
Nwokoma, represented by Unimaid NAAT Acting Chairman Yusuf Zangoma, expressed dissatisfaction with the finance minister’s refusal to release withheld salaries despite approval from President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
He outlined the association’s demands to include the payment of withheld salaries, full implementation of the 2009 FGN/NAAT agreement, payment of Earned Allowances arrears, and upgrades to public university laboratories.
