Three non-academic unions in the Nigerian universities on Monday joined the indefinite strike embarked upon by the Academic Staff Union of Universities, ASUU.

They are: the Non-Academic Staff Union, NASU, the Senior Staff Association of Nigerian Universities, SSANU, and the National Association of Academic Technologists, NAAT.
