The lecturers had been on strike since December 31.
The Colleges of Education Academic Staff Union, COEASU, on Tuesday said it would not be intimidated by the “no work, no pay’’ circular issued to its members.
Olayanju Taiwo, the Chairman of COEASU, Federal College of Education (Technical), Akoka chapter, told the News Agency of Nigeria in Lagos that the circular was ill-timed.
Mr. Taiwo said that a circular from the Federal Ministry of Education sent to the Colleges on March 21, directed the stoppage of the salaries of the lecturers, who were on strike.
He noted that such a directive was not supposed to come at a time when the representatives of the government and the union were still in dialogue.
The union also rejected the Integrated Personnel and Payroll Information System (IPPIS) already operational in the Federal Civil Service and the non-implementation of the 2010 Federal Government-COEASU agreement.
