ABUJA — Colleges of Education Academic Staff Union, COEASU, yesterday, directed chapter chairmen to ignore the ‘no work, no pay’ directives of the Federal Government.

In a March 19 letter, en titled “update on issues in contention with government and need for caution”, General Secretary of the union, Mr. Nuhu Ogirima, called on all members not to bow to pressures from the government.

The union lamented that its meeting with the Federal Government on March 18 failed to resolve its demands for better condition of service, adding that it was yet to receive an approval letter from the Head of Civil Service of the Federation on the Peculiar and Responsibility Allowances as well as the migration of the lower cadres.
