The Academic Staff Union of Universities, ASUU, has rejected the Federal Government’s ‘No Work, No Pay’ directive, insisting that the union will not be intimidated by threats.
ASUU President, Professor Chris Piwuna, stated this during an interview with journalists, stressing that the union remains united and would not yield to what he described as the government’s attempt to divide the academic community.
Professor Piwuna emphasized that all academic unions were standing in solidarity with ASUU over the ongoing strike action.
He advised the Minister of Education, Dr. Tunji Alausa, to focus on resolving the lingering industrial dispute rather than issuing threats.
The ASUU President, however, reiterated the union’s readiness for dialogue and urged the Federal Government to engage constructively to end the crisis.
