ASUU Rejects Federal Government’s Proposed Salary Increment

The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) Benin Zone has rejected the salary increment recently proposed by the Federal Government, calling it insufficient to address the union’s concerns or to reverse the ongoing brain drain in Nigerian universities. Zonal Coordinator Prof. Monday Lewis Igbafen stated that the offer was “a mere drop in the ocean” compared to what’s needed. ASUU stressed the need for government to tackle all outstanding issues, including fully renegotiating the 2009 FGN/ASUU agreement and truly addressing related matters. Igbafen criticized the half-hearted approach of the government, noting that Nigerian university lecturers are still being paid at a level fixed back in 2009, despite economic changes and salary hikes in other sectors. He concluded that the union would not accept piecemeal solutions, urging authorities to take university reform seriously to ensure stable and quality education in Nigeria.

ASUU Warns Universities May Shut Down Over Stalled Talks

The Academic Staff Union of Universities has warned it may begin a nationwide strike if ongoing negotiations with the Federal Government do not yield results soon. This warning comes as talks over academic staff salaries, promotion arrears, and withheld payments have stalled. ASUU officials said lecturers have been on the same salary for 16 years, noting that inflation and the rising cost of living have made conditions very difficult. They rejected the government’s proposed salary increment, describing it as inadequate to address brain drain and improve working conditions. The union also criticized the government’s slow pace in resolving issues, including unpaid wage awards, promotion arrears since 2017, and partial payment of third-party deductions. ASUU argued that the challenge is political will, not lack of funds, pointing to increased government revenue in recent years. Union leaders urged traditional rulers, civil society, […]

Doctors in England Launch Five-Day Strike Over Pay and Training Jobs

Thousands of resident doctors in England began a five-day strike—their longest ever—on November 14, protesting stagnant pay and lack of training positions. This marks the 13th medical walkout since March 2023, as the National Health Service (NHS) reels from chronic understaffing and Britain’s prolonged cost-of-living crisis. The British Medical Association (BMA) is demanding a 26% pay increase to match real earnings from two decades ago, and more training posts for junior medics struggling to secure consultant pathways. Government health minister Wes Streeting condemned the strike, branding it “political posturing,” arguing doctors recently received a 28.9% pay raise—the highest public sector award in two years. Resident doctors counter that over 30,000 candidates now vie for only 10,000 posts needed for long-term career progression, leaving many without jobs after years of training. Strikes by nurses, teachers, lawyers, and other workers continue to […]

FCT Doctors Threaten Strike Over Colleague’s Kidnapping

Members of the Nigerian Medical Association in the Federal Capital Territory have threatened to shut down all medical services and stage a protest if their colleague, Dr. Chinonye Nwachukwu, is not released from kidnappers’ custody. Dr. Nwachukwu, who recently returned from studying in Ukraine to work at Garki Hospital in Abuja, has been held by kidnappers for 16 days. Despite reporting the abduction to agencies like the Department of State Security and the FCT Police, the doctors say no effective action has been taken to secure her release. The NMA’s FCT President, Dr. Emeka Ayogu, said that unless prompt rescue actions are initiated, doctors in Abuja will have no choice but to withdraw their services or protest peacefully. He described the association as deeply concerned, noting that the group has used every diplomatic channel so far without any result. According […]

Kaduna Tertiary Institution Workers Suspend Month-Long Strike

Striking workers at Kaduna State-owned tertiary institutions have suspended their month-long industrial action after Governor Uba Sani approved a new salary structure. The agreement was reached during a meeting between the governor and the Joint Union of Tertiary Institutions (JUTIKS), facilitated by the state's chapter of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC). The key outcome is the approval and immediate implementation of 70% of the 2024 CONPCASS/CONTEDISS salary structure for both academic and non-academic staff. The government also approved a 65-year retirement age for staff. The unions, which began the strike on September 30th, have expressed appreciation for the governor's "listening leadership" and commitment to workers' welfare. With this development, academic activities are expected to resume in the affected institutions.

Reps Drop Legal Move, Opt to Mediate Dangote Refinery Labour Dispute

The House of Representatives has decided to mediate the labour dispute between unions and the Dangote Refinery, abandoning a more confrontational legal approach. This follows a heated debate over a motion that sought to use the NEPZA Act to shield the refinery from union activities, arguing it is a strategic national asset in a Free Trade Zone. The motion's sponsors claimed recent strikes disrupted production and violated laws that exempt such zones from standard labour rules. However, other lawmakers cautioned against taking sides without a proper investigation. They argued that the parliament must hear from both the labour unions and the Dangote Group before making a decision. After intense discussions, the House rejected the motion to enforce the NEPZA Act. Instead, it unanimously adopted a resolution mandating its leadership, led by the Speaker, to personally mediate between the two parties […]

NUPENG Brands Oshiomhole ‘Judas Iscariot’ of Workers

The Nigeria Union of Petroleum and Natural Gas Workers (NUPENG) has launched a scathing attack on Senator Adams Oshiomhole, calling him the "Judas Iscariot of Nigerian trade unionism." The union's strong condemnation follows Oshiomhole's comments criticizing a strike by the Petroleum and Natural Gas Senior Staff Association (PENGASSAN) at the Dangote Refinery. NUPENG accused the former labour leader of betraying the working class and defending "corporate oppression." In a lengthy statement, NUPENG asserted that Oshiomhole's stance against the workers' right to unionize is a "reprehensible attack" on fundamental rights and a distortion of labour laws. They challenged him to point to any law that supports his views. As a result of his comments, NUPENG has declared Senator Oshiomhole persona non grata, meaning they will no longer engage with him or attend events where he is featured. The union has pledged its […]
