Members of the Senior Staff Association of Nigerian Universities (SSANU) and the Non-Academic Staff Union of Universities (NASU) staging a protest in Abuja have been confronted by armed security personnel.
The demonstrators are currently having an exchange at the Unity Fountain as police officers barricaded the venue with the members still in the location.
The SSANU and NASU members are currently protesting over the failure of government to pay their four-month salaries arrears
It was gathered that the stern looking security personnel prevented the protesters from leaving the convergence point.
President of SSANU, Mohammed Aruna Ibrahim and General Secretary of NASU, Comrade Peters Adeyemi led the demonstration.
Both unions are aggrieved that, despite a directive by the President that the four-month arrears be paid, only members of the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) got paid, leaving out SSANU and NASU members.
