In a bold move, ASUU has instructed lecturers to stop work any month their salaries aren’t paid by the 3rd, raising the heat on the federal government.
  • ASUU President Prof. Christopher Piwuna says “no pay, no work” is now official union policy.
  • Lecturers will boycott classes until salaries are paid if delayed beyond the third day of the month.
  • The union blames the government’s handling of GIFMIS, the platform that replaced IPPIS, for the delay.
  • ASUU suspects the salary disruptions are “deliberate punishment” for exiting IPPIS.
  • Piwuna says the government has not explained, even as other public workers get paid on time.
The shift follows persistent complaints from lecturers who say the government’s new payroll system is failing them. ASUU believes the delays are retaliation for their refusal to remain on IPPIS. With economic conditions biting harder, the union says members can’t afford to work without timely pay.

ASUU has notified all its branches. If this new policy sticks, students in public universities may see more disruptions in the months ahead unless the federal government resolves the payroll delays and concludes the renegotiation of the 2009 agreement.
