NLC FAULTS FG’S NO-WORK-NO-PAY POLICY, BACKS ASUU

The Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) has faulted the Federal Government’s implementation of a ‘No work, No Pay’ policy over the striking members of the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU).

ASUU had on Sunday declared a two-week warning strike starting from October 13.

In a statement, NLC President, Joe Ajaero, said that the ASUU warning strike is a ‘direct consequence’ of the government’s refusal to honour collectively bargained agreements.

He said the government’s continued refusal to implement agreements voluntarily reached with lecturers and workers was undermining public tertiary institutions.
