By -
(Nigeria) Senior Staff Association of Nigerian University, SSANU, Delta State University, DELSU chapter has threatened to embark on a strike action if the Delta State Government fails to pay its May salary.

Raising from its congress on Wednesday at the Abraka campus of the university, chairman and secretary of the association, Izu Monday and Mathew Eyuren in a statement, questioned the rationale for their unpaid salary saying, "what is our offence for which we are being made to suffer?"
Speaking at the end of the congress, Izu said: "We have not given the government any ultimatum yet, but we are using this medium to reach out to them under the assumption that they are not aware of our plight.
"If by the end of June, May salary is not paid, we would give them a 14days ultimatum and if they refuse to act, we would review the situation and take a decision.
"Now that the month of June has almost ended, will the state government pay our salaries for the months of May and June at once?
"If the answer is not on the affirmative, then, we are afraid, staggered payment of salaries and its consequent hardship has come to stay."

The court made the orders in its judgment a suit by the Incorporated Trustees of Media Rights Agenda, MRA, which had sued the NBC. Justice Omotosho held that the NBC, not being a court of law, had no power to impose sanctions as punishment on broadcast stations.
