As the ongoing strike by
Academic Staff Union of Universities,
ASUU, enters the fourth month, there
are strong indications that the Federal
Government has commenced the
implementation of the “No Work, No
Pay” rule.
Vanguard gathered from a reliable
source at the National Universities
Commission, NUC, that the
government has passed a directive to
the various universities governing
councils to stop payment of salaries of
the striking lecturers.
The ASUU Zonal Chairman in Abuja,
Mr Clement Chup confirmed this
yesterday after a zonal conference of
ASUU, University of Abuja chapter,
which took place at the Gwagwalada
campus to review the nationwide
strike.
He said his colleagues were yet to
receive their September salaries.
According to him, “we have resorted
to other welfare strategies to cope
with the effect of the strike,
particularly to contain the various
attempts by government to break the
resolve of the union. The Federal
Government has through the National
Universities Commission, directed
universities to stop the payment of
our salaries effective September this
year and since then our salaries have
not been paid.
“Part of the welfare strategy, involved
distributing food items, giving out soft
loans and cash advances to
members.”
He urged members of the public to
ignore the rumour that the strike has
been called off. He said: “Nigerians
should disregard rumours making the
rounds that the three months old
strike has been called off”, adding that
“the strike continues until the
government demonstrates a positive
inclination towards implementing the
2009 agreements and the 2012
Memorandum of Understanding
signed by both parties.”
