Nigerian Government Directs Universities to Enforce "No Work, No Pay" Policy Amid ASUU Strike

The Nigerian Federal Government has directed Vice-Chancellors of federal universities to implement a "No Work, No Pay" policy against ASUU members participating in the ongoing strike. Dr. Tunji Alausa, the Minister of Education, issued the directive to ensure that salaries are withheld during the strike.

ASUU declared a two-week warning strike due to the government's failure to implement agreements on university funding and salary payments. The government reaffirms its commitment to dialogue but insists on strict enforcement of the "No Work, No Pay" policy in line with civil service rules.
