President Bola Tinubu has approved the partial waiver of the “No Work, No Pay” order that was instituted against striking members of the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) following the commencement of their eight-month industrial action which began on February 14, 2022 and was terminated on October 17, 2022.
According to a statement by presidential spokesman, Ajuri Ngelale, said this is in view of his determination to mitigate the difficulties being felt during the implementation of key economic reforms in the country.
He explained as well as his recognition of the faithful implementation of terms which were agreed upon during the fruitful deliberations between ASUU and the federal government Tinubu has directed the grant of an exceptional last waiver of the “No Work, No Pay” Order on ASUU, which will allow previously striking members of ASUU to receive four months of salary accruals out of the eight months of salary which was withheld during the eight-month industrial action undertaken by the union.
