The Federal Government
has invoked the ‘no work, no pay’
labour rule against
striking university
lecturers as their industrial
action enters the 93rd day
with no end in sight.
Some of the federal
university vice chancellors
have not paid the
Academic Staff Union of
Universities (ASUU)
members their August and
September salaries in
compliance with the
government’s directive.
Some branch chairmen of
ASUU see the government
and vice chancellor’s move
as an attempt to break the
rank of their members,
insisting that their
members are resolute on
the ongoing strike.
Some ASUU branch
chairmen told Daily Sun
that text messages were
sent to vice chancellors to
apply the ‘no work, no
pay’ labour rules to
academic staff on strike
and that the decision had
affected the payment of
salary of non-academic
staff in the university
system.
According to one of the
branch chairmen, he and
his exco confronted their
university management
over the salary delay and
the he showed them the
text message asking them
not to pay salary to ASUU
members.
He stressed that the ‘no
work, no pay’ labour rule
had never worked,
pointing out that ASUU
has a counter-measure,
which was ‘no pay, no
work,’ and that the union
was not on strike because
of salary increment.
Sources stated that at the
ASUU Ibadan zonal
meeting held at the
University of Lagos, the
Vice Chancellor, Prof
Rahmon Bello, tried in
vain to defend the delay
of September salary.
Also, the ASUU chairman,
Federal University of
Agriculture, Abeokuta, Dr.
Biodun Badmus, told Daily
Sun that the vice
chancellor got text
messages not to pay
salaries and revealed that
the university had not
received August salary
from government.
His words: “Any vice
chancellor that has paid
August salary did so using
the university’s Internally
Generated Revenue (IGR).
We are not bothered
about the salary issue,
because at the end of the
day, they will still pay us.”
Meanwhile, the union has
faulted the conduct of
Post-UTME examination by
the universities during the
strike without the
involvement of academic
staff and urged the Joint
Admissions and
Matriculation Board (JAMB)
to intervene on the issue. -DAILY

let the strike continue, .

They must be mad. So they want to receive salary despite d fact dat they hav abandoned their job since 93days ago. Hunger go kill u ppl. ASUU members should go and be learning a trade or acquire skill like their students. FG must nt pay dem and lets see how most of dem would survive

Good for em

they should keep their pride and stubborness and return to work.nobody fights against the fg and comes owt victorious.

Wait for their supporters to crawl out. On the other hand, this, if true is right. Whatever happened to love for one's job? How about parents who toiled to pay house rents? Will Landlords care if one maximized his or her tenancy? This is quite sad.

Good one.
No work no pay period!

The battle line is draw let see who win it at last....

Hon. SuQ Ma'DIQ:
Good one.
No work no pay period!

who's deceiving who? They ll still be paid all their arrears when the strike is called off.. So who's the loser here? For all the months they abandoned their duty post, they ll get fully paid, I so love this job

ASUU and its. Members are foolish.let fg not pay dem anything and not even implement fully their allowances.and we wud see hu gets tired..bunch of foolish fools

There are using everything in their arsenal to force ASUU back to school

I hate ASUU... If u hate them too click d hatred button...

It is you the students that loses at the end. Some of these lecturers are already lecturing on contract in private universities. Some are doing part time lecturing in neighbouring countries while others are engaged in other businesses. You think they ll just fold their arms and be waiting for FG to pay them? Now, FG cannot also sack them because the number of professors and PHD holders we have in this country are not even enough for the number of universities on ground. That is why you see some departments are not given accreditation. If FG sacks them, where will they get profs and Phds to replace them? Or you think FG can produce professors overnight? That's why at the end of the day, FG will still pay them all their arrears. You can't operate a university without professors and PHDs holders. If its a first degree holders thing, FG would ve easily intimidated them but, its not so in this case o. Think twice. FG knows this fact very well that's why they are running around whipping sentiment from people like you. If you know something, you students should face the FG to keep to their agreement with ASUU. Now let me give you this info, do you know that ASUU has a cooperative they are running over the years and because of the no work no pay they asked their members to come and collect money from the cooperative if they are in serious need. Funny thing is that its only a few of them who have gone for that money. If they are dying of hunger as you think, why haven't they rushed the cooperative? Why is it that its only a few of them that have gone for the money?. And the ones that went, took just small amount from the cooperative. When we get this info from some of them that are close to us and we pity people like you who think that FG will win them. Keep dreaming.

No work, no pay but lets be candid to ourselves, they will be paid even if the strike lingers for a thousand years. Just tried of staying at home doing partially nothing. ASUU should end this strike action. They will surely collect their pay even after ten years of strike but its affecting our calender. Wetin concern nigerian student with ASUU self ?

Its only in Nigeria that people won't work and still expect to be paid.. Our labour laws should be reviewed to check this absurdity.

labour laws in this country is rubbish.

how dat one take change mata.

Now that The government is getting shut down The crime rate will be higher,,more kids will be sick nd hungry,,nd more bitches will receive prostitution cases....... #‎SadButTru

By The Time This Strike Is Over, This Is How Them Students'll Be Looking. Smh

Pls let be praying and stop insulting ASUU. I could remember i said no going back on ASUU strike until FG implement d agreement dey made with ASUU. I advice all students to engage in Something positive while d strike continues..My humble opinion!
