 FG orders VCs to enforce ‘no work, no pay’ policy against striking lecturers participating in strike.


The Federal Government has directed vice-chancellors of Nigerian universities to implement the “no work, no pay” policy on members of the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) participating in the ongoing nationwide strike.


The directive was contained in a circular dated October 13, 2025, and signed by the Minister of Education, Dr. Tunji Alausa. 


Copies of the circular were sent to key government officials, including the Head of the Civil Service of the Federation, the Permanent Secretary of Education, Pro-Chancellors of federal universities, the Director-General of the Budget Office, the Accountant-General of the Federation, and the Executive Secretary of the National Universities Commission (NUC).


In the circular, the ministry expressed disappointment over the continued industrial action by ASUU, despite repeated appeals for dialogue. It warned that the government would no longer tolerate actions that breach existing labour laws.


Dr. Alausa directed all vice-chancellors to conduct an immediate roll call and physical headcount of academic staff across their institutions, and to submit detailed reports indicating those present and performing their duties and those absent due to the strike.


He added that payment of salaries should be suspended for any lecturer who fails to perform official responsibilities during the strike period. However, he clarified that members of the Congress of University Academics (CONUA) and the National Association of Medical and Dental Academics (NAMDA) — who are not part of the strike — should not be penalised.


ASUU had on Sunday, October 12, declared a total and comprehensive warning strike, effective Monday, October 13. 


The union’s demands include the conclusion of the renegotiated 2009 FGN-ASUU agreement, release of withheld salaries and arrears, revitalisation funding for public universities, and an end to alleged victimisation of members in some institutions.
