For instance, it is important to remind Nigerians that part of the reasons ASUU went on strike was government’s failure to pay university lecturers their about eight years arrears of Earned Academic Allowances which work they had done. Does the same government that has failed to pay the lecturers their EAA for work already done for eight years possess the moral rectitude to talk about “no work no pay”? Are the arrears going to be paid with interest and when? Maybe we should be talking about preventing moral hazards in governance instead.
Gbajabiamila’s proposal for partial payment of the lecturers’ withheld salaries is therefore unthinkable and unacceptable. How will that discourage disruptive industrial actions? Also, how will that facilitate the completion of the disrupted academic session? Let it be stated for the avoidance of doubt that it is the failure of the government over the years that has disrupted academic sessions.
