The leadership of the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) has confirmed that a directive has been issued for all branches of the union nationwide to withdraw their services over the delay in the payment of June 2025 salaries to its members, citing the enforcement of “No Pay, No Work” resolution.
ASUU branches in two federal universities, the University of Jos and the University of Abuja, have already commenced strike action in compliance with the directive.
President of ASUU, Prof. Chris Piwuna, who confirmed the development said what the institutions are doing is simply enforcing a National Executive Council (NEC) resolution of the union that any month in which salaries are delayed beyond three days, members should withdraw their services until the salaries are paid.
Piwuna lamented the lackadaisical attitude of government officials toward the issue of lecturers’ salaries, which he described as a paltry amount.
He explained that since the migration of university workers from the Integrated Personnel Payroll and Information System (IPPIS) to the Government Integrated Financial Management Information System (GIFMIS), union members have experienced significant hardship due to salary delays.
He disclosed that the leadership of the union has engaged relevant government officials, including the Minister of Education and the Accountant General of the Federation, without any positive result. Hence, the ASUU NEC resolved to enforce the “No Pay, No Work” policy.

Good.
ReplyDeleteWicked politicians decamping and recamping, sharing monies in preparation for the next election not minding the masses. All agencies should adopt this mode of no pay, no work even if salaries are delayed for 2 hours.
Aaaahhh
ReplyDeleteI'm in one of the University's currently, and they are not on strike. I checked with a staff member, and she confirmed that salaries were paid last night.
ReplyDeleteAnd the move by ASUU is an encouraging one!
Ike gwuru situation. When I was discussing it with my son this morning, his concern is his final papers next month. I pray unizik doesn't join them..
ReplyDeleteUnizik joined but called off that same yesterday
DeleteGod pls touch FG to settle their problems with Asuu.
ReplyDeleteI heard it's a fake news
ReplyDeleteSalaries were paid last night, so the strike has been cancelled.However the directive still stands:Any month salary doesn't enter on the 3rd, service is withdrawn at 11:59pm that day.
ReplyDeleteThis Government has chosen to pay salaries from the 6th, so two can play the game
