ASUU has been strike for six
weeks.
A lecturer at the University of
Abuja, Professor Femi Odekunle,
says the current ASUU strike is
not about salary or benefits but
about ensuring an effective
university system.
Mr. Odekunle, who spoke with
the News Agency of Nigeria on
Friday in Abuja, said that the
claim by the Federal Government
that some of the agreements
reached between the union and
government were not
implementable was untrue.
“I do not believe that any
agreements reached are not
implementable, otherwise they
would not even have been
reached in the first place.
“And these issues that ASUU is
fighting for have to do with
infrastructure, funding and
conducive environment for
learning and all capture such
nuts and bolts that drive the
system.’’
“So the claim by anyone to say
that certain aspects of the
agreement are not
implementable is fraudulent.
“If the Federal Government can
put funds into the National
Assembly in terms of salary and
allowances, why can’t it do the
same for education that
produces the manpower for the
development of the nation,” he
said.
Mr. Odekunle accused the Federal
Government of employing tactics
that were creating division
between ASUU and management
of universities by its sudden
increase of vice-chancellors’
salaries and allowances.
The don, who noted that some
lecturers were also culpable in
contributing to the sector’s
decay, noted, however, that
majority of the lecturers were
serious and committed.
He said that government should
address issues, including the
misuse of resources, corruption
of the political and government
class, high cost of governance,
and other issues that had
continued to have adverse
effects on the country’s
development.
Mr. Odekunle advised the
government to address the ASUU
strike from its root cause and not
to “play politics and games with
our children’s future’’.
ASUU has been on strike for six
weeks and have vowed to
continue with the strike unless
the government implements the
2009 agreement it had with the
union.
