Falana to MBuhari: Ignore Ngige, pay ASUU members their full February to October salaries | TheCable
Ayodele OluwafemiFemi Falana, a senior advocate of Nigeria , has asked President Muhammadu Buhari to direct that members of the Academic Staff Union of Universities be paid their full salaries.that arose on Thursday when some ASUU members were not paid their full salary for October.Olajide Oshundun, head of press and public relations, federal ministry of labour and employment, had said ASUU members were paid their October salary pro-rata and not half salary as reported.
He argued that since Buhari overruled the no-work-no-pay principle invoked on members of the Nigerian Association of Resident Doctors , it is logical to do the same for ASUU.Falana asked the president to ignore the advice of Chris Ngige, minister of labour, and pay ASUU members their full salaries from February to October.“Since the industrial action was called off, the public universities have adjusted their calendars to ensure that the 2021/2022 academic session is not cancelled.
“Furthermore, it is public knowledge that the members of the Nigerian Association of Resident Doctors embarked on a strike that lasted two months last year. The federal government dragged the striking doctors to the national industrial court which ordered the NARD to call off the strike. As soon as the strike was called off, President Muhammadu Buhari jettisoned the ‘no work, no pay’ principle and ordered the payment of the salaries for the two months that the strike lasted.
