The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) is set to embark on a one-day nationwide protest rally over the implementation by the Federal Government of a “no-work, no-pay” policy for lecturers in the country.
The chairman of ASUU, University of Lagos (UNILAG) branch, Dr. Dele Ashiru, confirmed this to Nigerian Tribune, on Sunday, said the protest will be organized at the branch level of the union across public university campuses nationwide and it will take place as a free-lecture day for all lecturers who are members.
“The aim of the protest rally is simply to draw the attention of Nigerians at home and in the Diaspora to ASUU’s strong dissatisfaction with the Federal Government’s attempt at casualization of the academics in the country by using ‘no-work, no-pay policy’ to remunerate them.
“Every university where ASUU has members has been directed to choose a day within the week to hold a special congress and also go on protest rally within their campuses,” he said.
Ashiru said UNILAG-ASUU had fixed Tuesday, November 15, for its rally, insisting that university lecturers are intellectuals and professionals and cannot, therefore, be treated like casual workers.
