The union has been advocating for the implementation of career progression policies that fairly accommodate both Teaching and Non-Teaching Staff.
In a warning notice dated January 14, 2025, and addressed to the Minister of Education, SSANIP’s National Secretary, Nura Shehu Gaya, outlined the union’s grievances.
