A former President of the Academic Staff Union of Universities, ASUU, Prof Biodun Ogunyemi has said that nobody can say for sure that 2023 will be a year free of strikes by lecturers of public universities <\/p>\n
Ogunyemi disclosed this on Saturday while featuring on Channels TV\u2019s 2022: In Retrospect, an End-Of-Year special programme.<\/p>\n
Recall that ASUU embarked on industrial action that lasted over eight months in 2022 following demands for improved welfare and payment of owed earned allowances, among others.<\/p>\n
However, ASUU ended the strike following the Industrial Court\u2019s judgement asking its members to return to work.<\/p>\n
But the Federal Government only paid the lecturers half their salaries for the month of October, citing its no-work, no-pay policy as the reason.<\/p>\n
Ogunyemi said the Federal Government is indifferent to the travails of ASUU and noted that it is an injustice not to pay its members in arrears as they work in arrears as well.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe must understand what triggers strike action. I don\u2019t think anybody can promise you there will be no strike (in 2023),\u201d Ogunyemi said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
