SSANU, NAAT, NASU STRIKE: OAU BREAKS AWAY FROM NASU TO FORM NUATSU.



   On Wednesday, the Joint Action Committee headed by Samson Ugwoke declared an indefinite strike which will take effect from Monday, 13th of September.
   The Joint Action Committee comprising of the Non-Academic Staff of Universities and Associated Institutions (NASU), Senior staff Association of Nigeria Universities (SSANU) and National Association of Academic Technologist (NAAT), in a meeting in Abuja agreed to embark on the strike action.
   In Obafemi Awolowo University branch, OAU SSANU and OAU NAAT are the only unions in support of the strike action. OAU NASU has refused to be part of the decision because they see NASU national body as a sly.
 
   In a meeting of all OAU NASU members yesterday
, September 7, at the University sport complex, the Chairman, Mr. Wole Odewumi, publicly declared that the branch has detached itself from NASU national and has formed the Nigerian University and administrative and technical staff Union.(NUATSU).
   we are no longer interested in NASU because its national leadership has failed us. As a matter of fact, we've stopped paying our dues and we are expecting their worst." he said
    The Chairman in his address made it known that if they like let them declare but we are not joining any strike. He therefore urged every of the members to listen and be obedient to the leadership of the Union.
    Members also expressed their contentment to the new progress.
    I will advise that as we will be distributing forms on our decision to break away from NASU, Iet us distribute forms to members to let them know that our dues will now be paid for the development of NUATSU" Mr. Akinibi said.
    " It's good that we are not joining the strike. It's the development stage of NUATSU and since we no longer belong to NASU,  let us not join their struggle." a member remarked.
