The Federal Government has ordered vice-chancellors of federal universities to enforce the “no work, no pay” rule on members of the Academic Staff Union of Universities, ASUU, taking part in the ongoing strike. The directive, signed by Education Minister Dr Tunji Alausa, was issued on 13 October.
The ministry expressed disappointment over the strike, warning that government would no longer tolerate violations of labour laws. Vice-chancellors were directed to conduct headcounts of staff reporting for duty and suspend pay for those absent.
