The National Industrial Court has upheld the no work no pay rule by the Federal Government in the suit filed against the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU).
In a judgement delivered by the President of the Court, Justice Benedict Kanyip, the court held that the no work no pay rule enforced by the Federal Government against members of ASUU who went on strike last year is perfectly legal.
According to the court, it is within the right of the Federal Government to withhold salaries of workers who embark on industrial action.
However, it held that it is a violation of university autonomy for the Federal Government to impose the Integrated Payroll and Personnel Information System (IPPIS) platform on members of ASUU who reserve the right to determine how their salaries should be paid.
ASUU on February 14 embarked on strike, which lasted eight months, to press home its demands for a better welfare package, revamping of the nation’s education sector among others.
The strike forced many Nigerian students to be at home and the government.
