Femi Gbajabiamila.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>\u2019Osodeke noted that the action of the Union was a display of manifest trust in the judiciary and other institutions and organs of government to always put national interest above all other considerations,\u2019\u2019 the statement said.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>\u2018\u2019The ASUU president, however, lamented the response of government through the so-called \u2018pro-rata\u2019 payment for 18-day as the October 2022 salaries of the academics.\u2019\u2019<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>He said, \u201cThis we believe, as a union of thinkers, intellectuals, and patriots, will not only aid the process of amicable resolution of the crisis, but will also set the tone for smooth industrial relations between Government and Nigerian workers at large.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>\u201cUnfortunately, the response of government towards ASUU\u2019s demonstration of trust was the so-called \u2018pro-rata\u2019 payment for eighteen days as the October 2022 salaries of academics thereby portraying them as daily paid workers!<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>\u201cThis is not only an aberration, but a contravention of all known rules of engagement in any contract of employment for academics the world over.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>\u201cAt an emergency meeting of the ASUU\u2019s National Executive Committee (NEC), held on Monday, 7th November, 2022, the Union deliberated on developments since the suspension of the strike.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>\u201cNEC noted with dismay that paying academics on \u201cpro-rata\u201d basis, like casual workers, is unprecedented in the history of university oriented labour relations and therefore condemned this attempt to reduce Nigerian scholars to casual workers in its entirety.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>\u201cNEC commends the membership of ASUU for their perseverance in the face of untold hardship and unwarranted provocation by some notorious agents of the ruling class.\u201d<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>The ASUU NEC, therefore, appealed for the understanding of Nigerian students, parents and other genuinely concerned individuals and groups while the Union continues to pursue positive resolution of this avoidable crisis within the ambit of legality without compromising the interests and welfare of Nigerian intellectuals.<\/div>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) has said it will not embark on another strike action.
