The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) is still awaiting President Muhammadu Buhari’s decision on the no-work-no-pay rule invoked since its strike began eight months ago.
It is understood that Buhari’s decision on the matter is key to a decision the union will take on whether to call off the strike or continue.
It was further learnt that only the President can grant the waiver for the arrears of the striking lecturers to be paid.
“The issue of the no-work-no-pay has not been resolved yet. We are still waiting for Mr President,” a source told Punch.
Another source said, “It is only the President who can give that waiver at the moment. He has to forgive them. He is very hurt that they caused a delay for students.”
Meanwhile, branches of ASUU will begin consultations on Wednesday (today) over the possibility of calling off the strike.
