Academic and administrative activities were on Monday disrupted at the University of Ibadan (UI) after non-academic staff unions continued their warning strike to demand full payment of salaries and arrears from January 2016 to date.
Staff of the university have since January 2016 been collecting incomplete salaries due to shortfall of allocation from the Federal Government to the institution.
The unions had ordered their members to stop work on Friday after holding a joint congress.
The chairman of Senior Staff of Nigerian Universities (SSANU), Wale Akinremi, told journalists that the congress had resolved to proceed with industrial action without any further warning following several unfulfilled promises.
The unions are also demanding payment of N15, 000 and N30, 000 hazard allowances for junior and senior staff respectively.
