ASUU Strike: Nigerian university introduces ‘no work, no pay’ policy 

The management of the University of Abuja said on Friday that it is introducing a ‘No Work, No Pay’ policy against any of the institution’s workers not found at their duty post.

The threat is not unconnected to the ongoing industrial action by a faction of the institution’s chapter of the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU).

The university’s Vice-Chancellor, Abdul-Rasheed Na’Allah, said the management has issued a circular mandating all academic staff members to resume their teaching duties or face the consequences of unpaid salaries.

Mr Na’Allah, a professor, disclosed this on the institution’s X page, and was confirmed to PREMIUM TIMES by university spokesperson, Habib Yakoob.

He said the management of the institution has taken steps to address all of the issues raised by the striking members of ASUU.

It is morally bankrupt for people to expect to be paid salaries for work they have not done,” he said.

But ASUU said it has yet to hear from the university since a meeting that was held more than a week ago. He added that there was no resolution or agreements reached at the meeting.
