The Federal Government has issued a stern warning to the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU), threatening to invoke the “no work, no pay” policy if the union proceeds with its planned strike action.

In a joint statement released on Sunday by the Federal Ministry of Education, the Minister of Education, Maruf Tunji Alausa, and the Minister of State for Education, Suwaiba Sai’d Ahmed, reaffirmed the government’s commitment to resolving ASUU’s grievances through dialogue.

“The Federal Government has demonstrated sincerity, patience, and goodwill in its dialogue with the union,” the statement read.

The ministers noted that most of ASUU’s concerns — including increased teaching allowances and improved conditions of service — have been addressed. Other issues, they said, fall under the jurisdiction of university governing councils, which have now been reconstituted to handle them.

“Despite these efforts, ASUU has opted for strike action. This decision does not reflect a spirit of cooperation or fairness to students and the public,” the ministers stated, adding that the government had met its deadline for presenting its position.

They emphasised that under President Bola Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda, the government’s priority remains to maintain academic stability. However, they warned: “The ‘no work, no pay’ policy remains an extant labour law of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, and the government will be guided by this law should academic activities be disrupted.”

The statement urged ASUU to reconsider its stance and return to the dialogue table, stressing that “the government remains open to engagement at any level to prevent unnecessary disruption in the education sector.”
