The National Industrial Court in Abuja on Tuesday validated the no-work-no-pay policy the Nigerian government implemented against members of the Academic Staff Union of Universities .
The matter got to a head when the union embarked on an initial four weeks strike on 14 February, asking the government to honour the agreements it had entered with the union in 2009. While Mr Adamu’s persuasion worked on other unions, it fell flat with ASUU with the ‘No Work, No Pay’ rule introduced by the government.Following its inability to resolve the dispute with ASUU through negotiations, the federal government, through the Minister of Labour and Employment, Chris Ngige, referred the matter to the industrial court for resolution.It also asked the court to determine whether ASUU members were entitled to emoluments for the period they had been on strike.
The government also “requested an order of the Court for ASUU members to resume work in their various universities while the issues in dispute are being addressed by the NICN in consonance with the provisions of Section 18 of the TDA Cap T8. LFN 2004.”
