 The federal government has insisted that university lecturers will not be paid for work not done in line with the no-work nor pay policy. Minister of Education Adamo Adamo made this known during a briefing with state house correspondents in Abuja. Now there are some members which embarked on strike in February code of the action in October following the directive of the court of appeal which ordered them back to work. Following the call enough of the strike the government paid lecturers half salaries for the months of October while insisting that it will not pay for the months the lecturers were on strike. Asu had in turn organized protests across the country. However we spoke to the president of the academic staff union of universities Professor Immanuel Osodeke on this issue and this was what he had to say. But the government came up to say academic no-work nor pay you do work is not to be paid. When people are busy doing those jobs now we have an option to say no pay no work no work no pay. In which case that we think it is better to assume that let's cancel 2021 2021-22 as staff in 2022-23 all those way you have admitted and let them go let them go or wait or go and take jam again and come over but because of our interest and our feelings of negative people and their children we are doing the job we should have done making all the sacrifices. But before the government is sitting that they will not pay a cobalt they want to know that casual workers, Nigerians, please appeal to the government to advance other complications in the very near future that they should pay all those backlogs. The negotiation we're going that we have written an agreement let government come and sign that agreement or that they are several years of academic allowance they should pay so that there will be peace in the system. Let them also really the white paper of the shop and the report to universities so that those who will be punished and sanctioned so that they still will move away. That is our appeal to Nigerians. But people have suffered. They are teaching the state the evening doing a sort of work coming on weekend to ensure they meet up with the backlog and somebody saying no work no pay please appeal to those who were elected to do this fool in the interest of our children in the interest of Nigeria as a country.
