THE UNIVERSITY of Maiduguri (UNIMAID) branch of Non-Academic Staff Union of Universities (NASU) has appealed for public understanding over its decision to embark on strike action.
The appeal was made by the branch Chairman, Comrade Musa Liman, who spoke to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on the impact of the strike action in UNIMAID.
Liman said the action, which was nationwide, was in compliance with its national body’s directives to protest the alleged unfair treatment of the union members by the Federal Government.

The Chairman, who said the action was also to save public universities from collapse, noted that the level of compliance in UNIMAID was impressive.
“I want to thank our members for the almost 100 per cent compliance and to urge them to remain calm, peaceful and wait for further directives.
“If you observe, places like senate building, bursary, works department, exams and records, fire service, and many other places in the university are closed for the seven-day strike,” Liman said.
He explained that it was only the National Association of Academic Technologists (NAAT) of the university that said it would be joining the strike action on Wednesday. (NAN)
