Kindly share:<\/p>\n

\nThe president said the union is prepared to escalate its action if the federal government fails to pay lecturers\u2019 July salaries by the end of the month.<\/div>\n
\nThe Academic Staff Union of Universities, ASUU, has directed its members in branches where June salaries remain unpaid to stay away from work, warning that a nationwide strike could commence if the government continues to delay wage payments.<\/p>\n

In an interview with PREMIUM TIMES on Tuesday, Chris Piwuna, ASUU President, clarified that the union is not currently on an indefinite strike, contrary to what is seen online.<\/p>\n

However, Mr Piwuna said the union is prepared to escalate its action if the federal government fails to pay lecturers\u2019 July salaries by the end of the month.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is not an indefinite strike. We have told our members to go by the \u2018no pay, no work\u2019 policy. If salaries are not paid by the end of July, we will stop work again. It\u2019s that simple,\u201d Mr Piwuna said.<\/p>\n

Directive targets unpaid branches
\nThe directive currently affects university branches where salaries for June have not been paid.<\/p>\n

Mr Piwuna confirmed that some branches, such as the University of Abuja, have resumed academic activities after receiving their delayed June payments.<\/p>\n

\u201cThose who commenced the strike and their salaries have been paid are back to work. At least I can confirm to you that the University of Jos is back to work,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cAlso, UniAbuja is not on strike because their salaries were paid yesterday. And many others across the country that their salaries have been paid. But all those who are being owed June salary are not at work.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
