What happened
The Senior Staff Association of Nigerian Universities (SSANU) issued a 14-day ultimatum to the federal government to complete the payment of outstanding arrears contained in the 2026 agreement. SSANU President Mohammed Ibrahim announced the ultimatum during a press briefing at the Federal University, Uyo. The union stated that the implementation of the 2026 agreement has been uneven and haphazard across universities.
