The Senior Staff Association of Nigerian Universities (SSANU), Sokoto State University chapter, began a five-working-day warning strike on November 2, 2026, over unresolved staff entitlements. The action followed the expiration of a 14-working-day ultimatum issued to the Sokoto State Government. The union's demands include payment of arrears from a 25 per cent salary increment, approval of the 35 per cent Consolidated Non-Teaching Tools Allowance (CONTTA), and the release of outstanding check-off dues.
