This followed a recent breakdown in dialogue between the Ministers of Education and Labour, and the Joint Action Committee, JAC of the two bodies.
According to a circular jointly signed by the General Secretary of NASU and National President of SSANU, Peters Adeyemi, and Mohammed Ibrahim, and directed to all branch chairmen of the two unions, the protest will commence on Tuesday across the states and a national protest in Abuja on 18th July.
The circular noted that the National JAC on invitation, met with the Minister of Education, Minister of State for Education, Permanent Secretary and other top officials of the Ministry but unfortunately, the engagement has not shown any convincing commitment on the payment of the withheld salaries and resolutions of other pending grievances of the unions.
It said it was in view of the disappointment and failure of Government to address grievances of NASU and SSANU, that JAC decided on series of Industrial actions and also directed unions to hold a general meeting today, to sensitize members on the insensitivity of Government to their plights.
