Federal Govt Declares War On ASUU And Orders VCs To Enforce No Work, No Pay Rule

The Federal Government has directed Vice Chancellors of the striking public universities and inter-varsity centers in Nigeria to enforce the no-work-no-pay rule on striking lecturers.

This directive is coming barely two weeks when the nation’s Vice President, Professor Yemi Osinbajo publicly declared at the Founder’s Day of the University of Ibadan, UI, that the demands of the academic staff of the Nigeria’s universities for better funding of public schools, especially universities were logical and within the ambit of the law.


This directive was communicated to universities in a memo dated Thursday, November 29, 2018 sent by the Nigerian Universities Commission, NUC, to University Vice Chancellors. The Memo, with reference number NUC/ES/138/Vol. 60/48 was signed by the Director, Research, Innovation and Information Technology, Dr S. B. Ramon-Yusuf.


In the Memo, the federal government noted that payment of salaries to the striking workers from any other sources would be viewed as violation of extant rules and Government directive.
