Tertiary Non-Academic Staff Rejects FG’s 30% Pay Rise, Threatens Strike
Non-academic workers in federal universities, polytechnics and colleges of education have rejected the federal government’s 30% salary increase proposal. This decision follows years of agitation over pay disparities and unpaid allowances, and comes shortly after academics secured a 40% hike. The Senior Staff Association of Nigerian Universities says no final deal has been reached and warns of industrial action if talks drag beyond the end of April. A letter dated March 30, 2026, from the Ministry of Education states the 30% increment would take effect as a consolidated Non-Teaching Tools Allowance.
