Nigeria: Education unions set to strike March 18-24
Education unions call for seven-day strike across Nigeria from March 18-24. Protests possible.
The Senior Staff Association of Nigerian Universities (SSANU) and the Non-Academic Staff Union (NASU) have called for a seven-day strike from March 18-24 over salary demands.
Related protests remain possible in the vicinity of government buildings and education facilities, particularly universities. Heightened security and localized traffic disruptions are likely in the vicinity of all protests. Clashes with security forces are possible. Should the union’s demands remain unanswered, strike and protest calls are likely beyond March 24.
Exercise caution near likely protest locations. Avoid all protests to mitigate associated disruptions. Depart the area at the first sign of a confrontation. Heed the instructions of local authorities.
