The Forum of Zamfara State Tertiary Institutions (FOZASTI) has warned the Zamfara State Government of a potential two-week strike if their demands for worker compensation and recognition are not met. The forum's chairman, Yusuf Magaji Mada, announced the ultimatum in a statement released in Gusau, stressing that it is a final opportunity for the government to address the workers' concerns.
The Forum says the demands are vital to the welfare, motivation, and professional development of tertiary institutions' staff, as well as the effective functioning of the institutions themselves. The two-week ultimatum begins immediately and expires at the end of the specified period, after which the forum says it may be forced to initiate industrial action.
The forum has expressed its commitment to engaging in dialogue and peaceful negotiations with the government, but the ultimatum is a last-ditch effort to resolve outstanding issues.
