Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>Rights activist, Mr Femi Falana (SAN), has urged the Federal Government to stop provoking members of the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) in a dispute over wages.<\/p>\n

Falana stated this while speaking on Channels Television\u2019s Politics Today, on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

According to him, the lecturers should be paid their full salaries for the months they were on strike.<\/p>\n

Recall that ASUU members were on strike between February and October this year, crippling academic activities in public universities across Nigeria.<\/p>\n

ASUU called off their eight-month strike on Oct. 14 after the National Industrial Court (NIC) ordered the lecturers to resume.<\/p>\n

However, the Federal Government paid half-salaries for the month of Oct., angering ASUU members.<\/p>\n

The Federal Government had explained that the lecturers were paid based on the days they worked in the stated month.<\/p>\n

But speaking on the development, Falana, a counsel to ASUU, said on Tuesday, \u201cThe doctrine of \u2018no work, no pay\u2019 is totally inapplicable to ASUU members.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are asking all Nigerians who mounted pressure on ASUU to call off the strike . . . all of us have a duty to prevail on the government to stop provoking the lecturers.\u201d<\/p>\n
