[font=Open Sans][/size]The Federal Government has withdrawn the
recent threat of ‘no work no pay’ against ASUU. This was
disclosed by the National President of the Academic Staff Union
of Universities, ASUU, Prof. Biodun Ogunyemi, in an exclusive
chat with newsmen. He mentioned that the negotiation meeting
between ASUU and the Federal Government would continue
tomorrow.[/font]
The ASUU boss also said that last Friday’s meeting between the
two parties did not yield much results. He said: “Well, we
have confirmed that theyhave withdrawn that threat (no work no
pay). So it appears the threat is not there for now. But even if
the threat is there, we are prepared for that because for our
members, no sacrifice is too much to salvage Nigeria’s
education.<ins></ins>
Earlier, a human rights lawyer, Mr. Femi Falana, SAN reacting to
the "No work, no pay" threat on ASUU, explained that the Federal
Government was not properly advised on the 'No work, No pay'
rule. He said that the latest strike embarked upon by ASUU has
complied with the provisions of section 31 (6) of the Trade
Disputes (Amendment) Act, 2005.
"Since the law does not punish acts which are lawful in any
democratic society, section 43(1) of the Trade Disputes Act
cannot be invoked to justify the seizure of the salaries and
allowances of members of the ASUU who have decided to
participate in an industrial action that is legal in every
material particular. Under the current labour law regime only
those who take part in illegal strikes are liable to be
prosecuted and forfeit their salaries and allowances." He
stated.[font=Open Sans][/size][/font]
