The Non-Academic Staff Union of Universities are currently making their impacts felt in some Federal Universities.
By now, students who do not know the importance of this non-teaching union in higher institutions would have known that without them no academic activities can be smoothly run in any institution.
It can be said that some Nigerian institutions are in crisis now due to the industrial action of the union members protesting for their rights.
This crisis started shortly after the Academic Staff Union of the University called off it's
2017 indefinite strike.
On Tuesday, December
4 2017, the Joint Action Committee, JAC comprising of Senior Staff Association of Nigerian Universities, SSANU, Non-Academic Staff Union, NASU and National Association of Academic Technologists, NAAT directed its members in all universities across the country to resume their suspended strike.

Till today, this strike continues as the government has not responded to the demands of the union.
However, this perceived neglect from the Federal Government has prompted the union members to express their plights in their institutions by taking actions that tend to disrupt academic activities.
These are the five instance when the union has made efforts to cause a disturbance in some universities this year.
