Nigeria: Education union to protest nationwide on Nov. 6
National Association of Academic Technologists to protest across Nigeria on Nov. 6 and picket at Ministry of Finance in Abuja on Nov. 14.
The National Association of Academic Technologists (NAAT) has called for a nationwide protest on Nov. 6 over withheld salaries. Likely gathering locations include universities, polytechnics, and colleges of education. If the government fails to answer its demands, the union has also threatened to picket at the Ministry of Finance in Abuja on Nov. 14 and stage an indefinite strike.
Heightened security and localized traffic disruptions are likely near any protests that materialize. Clashes are possible near gatherings, especially if protesters obstruct road traffic, and students should support the educational staff.
Avoid all protests and anticipate localized transport disruptions near possible demonstration sites. Leave the area immediately at the first sign of any security disturbance. Abide by all official directives.
