The Federal Government has bragged that its “no work, no pay” policy will dissuade union strikes.
The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU), which is currently on strike, has been threatened by the government with not receiving pay.
Lecturers won’t be paid for the six months they are away from their jobs, according to Minister of Education Adamu Adamu.
He disclosed that the measure would serve as a penalty over the “behaviour of ASUU.”
Addressing State House Correspondents in Abuja yesterday, the Minister said lecturers would think twice before they join strike.
According to Adamu: “I think the stand that the government has taken now, not to pay, I think that’s the only thing in the hand of the government to ensure that there’s penalty for some behaviour like this.
“I believe teachers will think twice before they join strike if they know that at the end, they are not going to be paid.
“The government is not acting arbitrarily. There is a law and I believe this is going to be a strong element to deter many from going on strike.”
