•The protesters
Mild drama has ensued at the Unity Fountain as stern looking security personnel have prevented the protesters from leaving the convergence point.
Members of the Senior Staff Association of Nigerian Universities (SSANU) and that of the Non Academic Staff Union of Universities(NASU) are currently gathered at the Unity Fountain Abuja, protesting the non payment of their four months salaries.
The protest is being led by the President of SSANU, Mohammed Aruna Ibrahim and General Secretary of NASU, Comrade Peters Adeyemi, reports Daily Independent.
Both unions are aggrieved that despite a directive by the President that the four months arrears be paid, only members of the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) got paid leaving out SSANU and NASU members.
