 SSANU, NASU Reject FG’s ₦50bn Allocation Formula, Demand Fair Share for Non-Teaching Staff


The Joint Action Committee of the Senior Staff Association of Nigerian Universities (SSANU) and the Non-Academic Staff Union of Allied Institutions (NASU) has rejected the Federal Government’s distribution formula for the ₦50 billion approved for university-based unions, citing gross unfairness. The funds, intended for SSANU, NASU, and the National Association of Academic Technologists (NAAT), allocated 80% to the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU), leaving only 20% for the three non-academic unions.


In a statement issued Monday, the non-academic unions described the allocation as “grossly unfair, provocative, and totally unacceptable,” warning that it risks creating industrial disharmony and deepening the teaching/non-teaching divide in Nigerian universities. “Non-teaching staff are not second-class citizens but critical stakeholders who contribute immensely to the day-to-day functionality, administrative efficiency, research excellence, technical operations, and overall development of the Nigerian university system,” the statement read.


The unions criticized the distribution as an attempt to diminish their role, asserting that a harmonious academic environment requires equitable treatment of all stakeholders. “This is not a contest of supremacy among unions. It is about fairness, recognition, and the equitable treatment of all workers who form the backbone of the Nigerian university system,” they stated, emphasizing their pivotal contributions to university stability and excellence.


SSANU and NASU urged the Federal Government to immediately review and reverse the allocation formula, warning that proceeding with the current plan could trigger widespread resentment and industrial unrest. “We will not fold our arms while our rights are trampled and our members are treated with disdain,” the statement declared, adding, “The time to correct this injustice is now – a stitch in time saves nine!”


The unions called for justice, fairness, and recognition of their rightful place in the university community, signaling their readiness to take further action if the government fails to address their concerns.
