Okonjo-iweala Is Insensitive To The Plight Of Students - Akpatason by Fynestboi: 11:03am On Sep 10, 2013
FB: BENIN— THE member representing Akoko-Edo federal constituency of Edo State in the House of Representatives, Mr. Peter Akpatason, weekend, accused the Minister of Finance, Dr. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, of being insensitive to the plight of Nigerian students, saying that “she has been blackmailing Nigerians that government does not have the money to meet its agreement with Academic State Union of Universities, ASUU.”

The lawmaker, a former President of the National Union of Petroleum and Natural Gas Workers, NUPENG, said it was irresponsible on the part of the Federal Government to renege on its agreement with ASUU, describing as regrettable, the seeming insensitivity exhibited by government since the commencement of the ASUU strike.


He spoke in Benin City, shortly after the inauguration of Uneme National Development Association’s N100 million Education fund for Uneme communities. According to him, “It is very disheartening that up till now, ASUU is still on strike but unfortunately, I am not in a position to blame ASUU because I was still fully in Labour when this agreement was negotiated between ASUU and government.

“So, it is irresponsible of anybody to enter into an agreement and then renege. It is totally unacceptable and that is the issue. It is unfortunate that a party has gone into an agreement and today, it is is saying that it has no resources to fund what it signed. Dr. Okonjo-Iweala is known for coming up with statements about inadequacy of funds but yet the entire revenue gates in the country are performing above estimation; customs, oil and gas industry, immigration, they are all doing well beyond what was anticipated, yet Okonjo- Iweala keeps deceiving Nigerians and the whole world that Nigeria does not have money. What are they doing with all our money?”

I think she's saving it for 2015 election and hope she's due for her own jet.

She's lost all integrity she had during Obj's tenure.

She's only acting out a World Bank script to keep Nigeria 'under-developed'.

Plus, with the im.becile-in-chief at the helm, it's way too easy for her

Her kids are Harvard graduates, she's a Harvard graduate with no idea what it's like to be a student in Nigeria, why should she care? One can only be sensitive to a personal experience (even Jonah wey be lecturer before no send talk less Iweala). Please naija students, in your next life, pray to go to a family wealthy enough to send you to a foreign or at least private school.

I don't like the woman but when a job needs to be done basic rules need to be followed. The blame should be on elected officials not appointed official.
Re: Okonjo-iweala Is Insensitive To The Plight Of Students - Akpatason by Nobody: 4:04pm On Sep 10, 2013
ASSU is just an as$ h0le.

Government have demostrated good faith in the negotiation by puting N130 billions on the table, why not return the good gestures back by showing some patrotism?

And please if you want senators salary, resign and contest. If you think you are better in formulating government policies, resign and join politics.

But the bottom line is even this: Nigerian lecturers are more corrupt than the politicians they are trying to paint black.

Who among them doesnt sell ''Copy and paste'' hand outs?

how many of them doesnt give out marks to female students for a night out?

how many of them even got the job on merit?

How many of them can defend their qualifications?

How many times to they report for their duties?

How many researches have they conducted?

What is the quality of their products?

Abeg, Leave mata for mathias.
