The Academic Staff Union of Universities, ASUU, Federal University Otuoke, Bayelsa, Branch, has called on the Federal Government to release all outstanding salaries and allowances of its members in all public universities in Nigeria without further delay, declaring that the No work, no pay policy cannot apply to ASUU members.
The branch which stated this in a resolution issued after a meeting and a rally held at the Skills Acquisition Campus of the University, to deliberate on the lingering industrial crisis between the Federal Government and ASUU, noted that the 2009 Agreement was a mutual agreement aimed at improving the quality of education in public universities in Nigeria.
The resolution was signed by ASUU Bayelsa Branch Chairman, Comrade Dr. Socrates Ebo, Chairman and Secretary, Congress Resolution Drafting Committee, Comrade Dr. John Kalama and Udochukwu Esther Chioma respectively.
They appealed to members of the National Assembly, the Nigeria Labour Congress and other well-meaning Nigerians to intervene and prevail on the Federal Government to honour and implement the 2009 Agreement it entered into with the Union.
