The Senior Staff Association of Nigerian Universities, (SSANU) has issued a February warning to the Federal Government to fully implement the minimum wage to its members or face industrial action.

In a communiqué issued at the end of its 41st National Executive Council (NEC) meeting held at Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife, Osun State, the union lamented the hardship its members are going through due to the haphazard nature of the implementation of the Integrated Personnel Payroll System.

It said, NEC in session seriously frowns on the endless insincerity and double-dealings of the Federal Government over agreements and memoranda of understanding seamlessly signed with labour unions.

NEC recalls the several assurances of the government to pay the agreed arrears of the new national minimum wage which is yet to be met after countless months, the last promise being the end of October last year.

It urges the government to keep to the promise of payment of the arrears of the new national minimum wage, which it noted has already lost its value as of today.
