FG, ASUU Begin Fresh Showdown, Minister Tackles Lecturers

The Federal Government and the Academic Staff Union of Universities may be preparing for another showdown as the Minister of Education, Adamu Adamu, has insisted the government will not pay full salaries to lecturers despite their ongoing nationwide protest.

 

ASUU had on Monday begun protests across the country to press home their demand for full pay after the Federal Government failed to pay them for the eight-month period the lecturers were on strike.

 

However, Adamu, who spoke with newsmen in Abuja on Wednesday, insisted the protesting lecturers will not be paid for work not done in line with the‘No work no pay’ policy.

 

The minister also reacted to the allegation made by the President of ASUU, Professor Emmanuel Osodoke, that paying the lecturers on pro-rata basis was a ploy to make them casual workers.
