Academic and non-academic activities at the Nasarawa State College of Education, COE, Akwanga, came to a halt on Wednesday as workers, under the umbrella of the Joint Union, declared an indefinite strike to push for their demands.<\/p>\n

The decision was communicated in a letter dated Tuesday, March 19, citing the institution\u2019s Governing Council\u2019s insensitivity and lack of response to previous ultimatums.<\/p>\n

The union stated that the strike action became necessary due to the non-implementation of promotions from 2019 to date, non-payment of backlog gratuity owed by the College, and non-payment of promotion arrears from 2015 to date.<\/p>\n

These unresolved issues were pointed out in the letter addressed to the Chairman of the Governing Council.<\/p>\n

Despite the strike, the joint union acknowledged the efforts of the Commissioner of Education, Mr John Mamman, and the Jonathan Thani-led management of the College for their interventions in attempting to resolve the issues.<\/p>\n

The union, comprising COEASU, SSUCOEN, and NASU, expressed appreciation for the interventions but stated the need for concrete actions to address their grievances.<\/p>\n
