Union of Universities, ASUU, and the federal government, over the strike
embarked on by the union, strong indications have emerged that the
Federal Government has commenced the implementation of the “No Work,
No Pay” rule.
A reliable source
at the National
Universities Commission, NUC, according to Vanguard, said that the
government has passed a directive to the various universities governing
councils to stop payment of salaries of the striking lecturers.
Confirming this, yesterday, in Abuja after a zonal conference of ASUU,
University of Abuja chapter, which took place at the Gwagwalada campus
to review the nationwide strike, ASUU Zonal Chairman in Abuja, Mr
Clement Chup 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 therefore 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.”
