Members of the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU), Kogi State University, Anyigba branch, has commenced “No pay, No work” action, following the failure of the management of the institution to pay the five months arrears of salary owed them.

The branch chairman of the union,  Dr Daniel Aina, said in a statement on Tuesday,   that the action, which started on Monday, was meant to make the government  see to the demands of the members.

He, however, clarified that the academic staff of the university were not on strike, but have withdrawn their services .

According to him, “This means that we shall come to work but we will not teach, we will not attend statutory meetings like the boards of department, faculty, senate, no conduct of examination or supervision of students at all levels ,until all our arrears of salaries  are paid”

Aina, who  said  that their decision was devoid of any political motivation and neither against the administration of the university nor students, noted that the action was purely to pursue their rights in the area of the non- payment of salaries.

He stated that the union had reiterated its zero tolerance for corruption in the university system on many occasions, urging the management of the institution and the government to live up to expectation and respect the operational standards of the university.

He added that they have equally resolved that any month in which the payment of salary is delayed beyond the 7th of the following month, the union shall invoke the “No pay, no work” action, after due consultation with the National Executive Committee (NEC) of ASUU.
