SSANIP begins three day warning strike over unpaid arrears, agreement implementation
The Senior Staff Association of Nigeria Polytechnics (SSANIP) at the Federal Polytechnic, Bali, has announced plans to participate in a nationwide three-day warning strike beginning at midnight on Monday.
This decision follows resolutions made during the union’s National Executive Council and General Executive Council meetings held on November 11, 2026. A notice issued by the chapter’s Executive Committee on Sunday instructed all members to withdraw their services during the strike period, emphasizing compliance with directives from the national headquarters.
In a statement signed by SSANIP Secretary Adamu Saidu Jen, the industrial action aims to pressure the federal government to address two critical issues: the immediate payment of delayed CONTTA arrears and the full implementation of the 2026 renegotiated agreement between the federal government and the union.
The SSANIP chapter urged its members to refrain from reporting to work during the strike and announced the formation of a monitoring and enforcement task force to ensure adherence to this directive. Normal duties are expected to resume on Thursday, November 19, 2026, pending further instructions from the national leadership.
The Executive Committee encouraged its members to maintain unity and solidarity throughout the industrial action, thanking them for their patience, resilience, and commitment to the union’s cause.
