The federal Government has directed all Vice Chancellors of Federal Universities to enforce the “No work, No pay” policy on any employee who fails to discharge his or her duties.
In a letter to All Vice Chancellors of Federal universities, the Minister of Education, Dr. Olatunji Alausa, said the measure became inevitable as the Academic Staff Union of Universities declared an industrial action despite repeated calls to embrace constructive dialogue as the most effective and sustainable path to resolve all outstanding issues in the tertiary education sector.
Dr. Alausa further directed the Vice Chancellors to conduct a roll call and physical headcount of all academic staff in their institutions, as well as submit a comprehensive report of those performing their duties and those participating in the strike.
Also, they are to ensure that salary payment for the period of work stoppage is held for those partaking in the strike.
The Minister of Education mandated that the National Universities Commission will monitor compliance and submit its report within seven days.
