The Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) has condemned the Federal Government's directive enforcing the "no work, no pay" policy on striking university lecturers.
NLC President, Joe Ajaero, emphasized that the union's position remains "no pay, no work", stating it is illogical for the government to expect productivity from workers who have not been paid their entitlements.
The policy was unjust and insensitive.
Ajaero attributed the recurrent strikes in Nigeria's education sector to the government's failure to honour agreements made with labour unions since 2009.
