BREAKING: NOTSUP Declares 3-Day Warning Strike From Nov 16, Threatens Indefinite Nationwide Strike Over Unpaid CONTTA
The Non-Teaching Staff Union of Polytechnics (NOTSUP) has resumed its suspended ultimatum to the Federal Government with effect from Wednesday, 11th November, 2026.
This was contained in the Resolutions of the General Executive Council (GEC) of NOTSUP at its virtual meeting held on Wednesday, 11th November, 2026, where the Council deliberated extensively on the continued non-payment of CONTTA and the non-implementation of the outstanding provisions of the 2026 Negotiation Agreement between the Federal Government and the Union.
After careful consideration, the GEC unanimously adopted the following resolutions:
*1. Resumption of Suspended Ultimatum:* The earlier ultimatum issued to the Federal Government, which was previously suspended, is hereby resumed with effect from Wednesday, 11th November, 2026.
*2. Three-Day Warning Strike:* In the event of continued failure by the Federal Government to address the outstanding demands, a Three-Day Warning Strike shall commence from Monday, 16th November to Wednesday, 19th November, 2026.
*3. Window for Government Intervention and Indefinite Strike:* The period from 19th to 24th November, 2026, shall serve as a window of opportunity for the Federal Government to reconsider its position, address the outstanding demands and ensure the immediate payment of CONTTA. However, should the Government fail to meet these demands within the period, NOTSUP shall have no alternative but to commence an indefinite nationwide strike until its demands are fully addressed.
*4. Mass Protest:* Immediately after the NEC/GEC meeting (Wednesday 25th November 2026), members nationwide shall proceed in a coordinated protest to:
– Federal Ministry of Education
– National Board for Technical Education (NBTE) Abuja Liaison Office
– National Assembly
*5. Media Engagement and Publicity:* All Zonal Coordinators, Chapter Chairmen and Chapter Executives are hereby requested to give these resolutions the widest possible publicity through effective engagement with media houses, including television, radio, newspapers and other relevant media platforms.
The Union firmly reaffirms its position that agreements duly negotiated and signed must be honored and implemented without further delay. The Union will no longer condone the continued neglect of its members’ welfare, rights and legitimate entitlements.
