The administration of former President Muhammadu Buhari withheld their salaries when it invoked a “No Work, No Pay policy” against the ASUU, SSANU, and NAATS, who embarked on a strike that lasted eight months, four months, and five-and-half months respectively in 2022.

NAATS also joined and began its three-day warning strike today after the Federal Government appealed to the SSANU and NASU to shelve the action.
