ASUU on Strike Again! FG Enforces “No Work, No Pay” as CONUA Refuses to Join #naijanews

The Academic Staff Union of Universities, ASUU, has begun a two-week warning strike across public universities over what it calls the Federal Government’s failure to meet long-standing demands on salaries, funding, and allowances. 🎓

In response, the Federal Government has activated its “No Work, No Pay” policy, warning that lecturers who abandon classrooms will not receive salaries during the strike. The Education Minister, Dr. Tunji Alausa, insists government has addressed most of ASUU’s issues, but says dialogue must continue, not strikes. ⚖️

Meanwhile, the Congress of University Academics (CONUA) has distanced itself from the industrial action, saying its members are still teaching and working as normal. 🧑🏽‍🏫

This new division among academic unions has sparked mixed reactions as some Nigerians back ASUU’s fight, while others say students have suffered enough disruptions. 😤🎓
