The demonstration comes in the wake of a nationwide strike declared by the Joint Action Committee of NASU and SSANU, which directed members in universities and inter-university centres across the country to commence a total and comprehensive industrial action from May 1, 2026.
Union leaders said the action followed a meeting with officials of the Federal Ministry of Education that failed to produce a fresh offer or a clear timeline for concluding the renegotiation of the 2009 agreement for non-teaching staff.
The unions maintain that they will remain on strike until their demands are fully met.
