The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) has issued a new directive to its members nationwide: any month their salaries are delayed beyond the third day of the new month, members are to suspend all academic activities until full payment is made.
The decision was announced in response to the consistent delay in salary payments faced by lecturers, which the union says has left many unable to meet basic obligations like food, transportation, and personal upkeep.
"We cannot continue to work without food in our stomachs or money to get to work. Our members have been stretched beyond reason," ASUU stated.
This move aligns with the union’s “No Pay, No Work” rule, emphasizing that the welfare of academic staff must be respected and prioritized by the government and relevant institutions.
ASUU’s warning signals a potential disruption in academic calendars across universities if timely salary payments are not sustained going forward.
