The Federal Government has threatened that it will invoke Section 43 of the Trade Dispute Act of the labour law against the three non-teaching staff of universities, who have been on strike since December last year.
The Joint Action Committee, JAC, which comprised Senior Staff Association of Nigerian Universities, SSANU; Non Academic Staff Union of Educational Institutions, NASU, and National Association of Academic Technologists, NAAT, had embarked on strike over alleged failure of government to keep its own part of the agreement with the unions.
Speaking with Vanguard on the protracted industrial action embarked upon by the non-teaching staff in the universities, the Minister of Labour and Employment, Senator Chris Ngige, stated that the strike was illegal, claiming that the unions went contrary to the agreement reached by the two parties.
