The Federal Government has warned the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) that it will enforce the “no work, no pay” policy after lecturers began a two-week warning strike to protest unpaid arrears and poor implementation of past agreements.
The Ministry of Education said the rule is backed by labour law and will apply if the strike continues.
ASUU, however, insists that the policy is unfair and that government has not fully met its commitments under the 2009 agreement.
Stakeholders are urging both sides to resume dialogue to prevent disruption of the academic calendar.
