This online media platform learnt that only President Buhari can order the lecturers to be paid.

A source that spoke with Punch on the pressing issue said, “the issue of the no-work-no-pay has not been resolved yet. We are still waiting for Mr President.”

Another source who spoke on the development said, “It is only the President who can give that waiver at the moment. He has to forgive them. He is very hurt that they caused a delay for students.”

Meanwhile, branches of ASUU will commence voting today (Wednesday) over the possibility of calling off the strike.

It was earlier reported that the National Executive Council (NEC) of ASUU will meet on the matter on Thursday.
