FG SHOULD RESLOVE THIS MATTER FOR THE SAKE OF THE STUDENTS. THIS IS A HUGE SET BACK FOR THESE STUDENTS. THEY ARE ADMANT BECAUSE THEIR CHILDREN ARE ALL STUDYING OVERSEAS. WHILE THE SO CALLED LAW MAKERS AND SENATORS TAKE HOME HUGE PAY CHECKS, THOSE WHO IMPACT THESE KNOWLEDGE ON OTHERS BOAST OF NOTHING. WHY ARE TEACHERS ALWAYS NEGELECTED IN THAT COUNTRY ? 2 Likes |

manie: I agree completely with this. Further degrees are optional and should be well paid for. However the deed is done. Govt negotiating team were not smart enough. They can redeem this mess by increasing the cost of both masters and phds. |

Were they paying them salaries after they struck? Why would u pay salary to sum1 dat didnt wrk 4 u? Nw, stop paying em salaries. After the strike might hav bin called off, force them to wrk 4 the subsiquent salaries u paid em that they neva wrked 4, beginning frm the day1 of the strike til the last day. No wrk, no pay. |

Time to partner with investors in the educational sector and most especially in University education. Anybody who invest in this sector will smile to the bank on a regular basis in the next 10 years. I see a gradual end of public universities in the next 20 years. I guess proprietors and investors in private universities are indirectly using the lecturers in public universities to kill the system. |

gbanikiti: Best comment so far! Wellsaid. If Ebele Jonathan can afford to feed his family and some few govt cronies with 1billion naira worth of food in a financial year, its only fools that will believe the claims of govt that there is no money to pay lecturers what they are being owned which is peanuts anyway. |

chemashie: FG will still pay the money no matter what. I don't see reason why they should do that when we know fully well that the money will still be paid. yes, but the money will yield interest if given to a businessman to do business till they resolved their issues |

I strongly support the "no work no pay" rule. come to think of it...if ASUU calls of dis 3months old strike all because of their monthly pay, wouldn't dis strike been in vain. |

The ASUU-FGN matter is a clear conflictual matter. You don't sweep conflicts under the carpet What the federal govt. should do is to confront the matter and send these Guys back to class It may be true that the ASUU members are seeming inconsiderate, but the bulk of the matter heavily lies on the Federal Executive Council (GEJ's cabinet) If GEJ wants lecturers to go back to school on Monday, He knows what to do- i am a final year student of the Industrial Relations and Personnel Management dept. of the University of Lagos, (university of first choice, the nation's pride). Let GEJ commit himself rather than traveling here and there, and watch ASUU make concessions. The government needs to be trusted, and this is the truth and the crux of the whole matter- GEJ should bargain in good faith I thaink ASUU will be willing to bulge, they are academicians that should be able to think when necessary That is my little contribution          THATS ALL.

The management and administration of University education needs to be decentralised. A lecturer in Lagos does not have to earn the same salary with a lecturer in Maiduguri, but their costs of living and expenses in both cities are not the same. People may criticise me for this, but this is the economic reality. 1 Like |

The agreement states further.... b.)Each State University shall require three million, six hundred and eighty thousand and eighteen Naira (N3,680,018) per student for the period 2009 –2011 as follows: Year Amount (N) 2009 1,144,075 2010 1,205,880 2011 1,330,063 Total (approximated) 3,680,000 These amounts include Recurrent and Capital Grants, and are based mainly on the disaggregated returns from the universities. 4.2 SOURCES OF FUNDING 4.2.1 Federal and State Governments The goal of this negotiation is to put Nigeria in a strong position to become a knowledgebased society that will be able to compete and survive in the 21 st Century. To achieve this, the entire education system requires massive funding at all levels. While non-budgetary sources have a role to play, and there must be continuous efforts to identify and use them prudently, the major source of funding education for national development is through budgetary allocation from State and Federal Governments. With this in view, the Re-negotiation Committee agreed to recommend to the relevant authorities that: (a)A minimum of 26% of the annual budget of the State and Federal Governments be allocated to education; (b)At least 50% of the budgeted 26% shall be allocated to the universities; and, (c)The representation of the Federal Ministry of Education to the Revenue Mobilisation and Fiscal Commission to put education on the “First Charge” be vigorously pursued. (d)Being mindful of the processes for meeting this goal of 26% annual budgetary allocation to education as enunciated in the UNESCO benchmark, the Federal Government shall endeavour to progressively increase its budgetary allocation to the education sector in accordance with its vision 20:2020 programme. 4.2.2 Federal Government Assistance to States for Higher Education It was agreed that the Federal Government should, as appropriate, provide general assistance both to the State Governments that are proprietors of universities and those that do not own universities but need assistance in the area of higher education, as allowed by the Nigerian Constitution (Section 164.1). Let me pause here as you can peruse the terms of the agreement and adopt an informed view about the industrial action. The questions are still begging for answers... 1) This agreement was signed by prof Onosode , pro-chancellor of unilag on behalf of the government and ASUU chairman, can the government claim ignorance of its financial obligation to this agreement while planning the budget? 2) If the country is not financially buoyant to foot this expenditure, what stops the minister of education from invoking the right of re-negotiation as provided in the agreement? 3) For the president to ask the reason for state uni to join the strike clearly smirks of his ignorance of the terms of this agreement. 4) Why did ASUU wait till 2013 to start this strike when they could have protested since the first installment ? 5) The NUC and representatives of ETF and PTDF on the boards were given the responsibility of notice and reminders to government, if na to donate 50million per university to bribe senators to increase allocation, that mumu NUC sec go sabi do? SUMMARY The government entered into an agreement out of ignorance or insincerity of honoring it! We need a new, workable and practical agreement with all stake holders, a span of like 6 years and commitment by all the parties. The minister of finance should be part of the committee to prevent another ''no money talk". The students body should be joined as witness so that they are fully aware of the ineptitude of the government should they default. And lastly, the president should be properly briefed on issues. |

0lumide: Oga, I was in University of Ilorin those days when the branch ASUU was hot ( 97, 99 and 2000). The 'no work no pay' rule was first tested in Unilorin. Ask any one who was in Unilorin between 97- 2007, after close to ten years, the lecturer won their case in the Supreme Court. The funniest thing was that the least paid earned about N20m or so, depending on your HATISS. Even those who died during the struggle, their families received their pay. My point exactly is that after suspending their salary for years and some had gone to private universities, the court still ruled that they should earn salary till the date of the judgment or so. So please let us learn from the past. If the FG thinks they are overbearing, let them take legal action as against illegal action of 'no work no pay'. 1 Like |

tpacalipse: ASUU can never be owed by anyone. Govt shall pay and its hands will be washed by water in case there are remnants sticking there. When ASUU calls off the strike, no pay no work policy would start again. For more than one year now, at every congress of ASUU, it has always been discoursed that this strike may go on for two years and the lecturers knew what they were in for before the strike commenced. No one will back down in this struggle to reposition the universities in this country. No work no pay will eventually become no pay no work. Govt will beg to pay and even ASUU will refuse to collect. They shall pay in multiple folds. Some of you think ASUU is like other toothless union in Naija. Or you think is like that agbero union some of ya papa belong to. Seriously, u f**k up. U just over talk!!! |

vizboy: and someone here is saying that ASUU is fighting for a just cause.Yes! They are fighting for their pocket because it is their right. They are owed almost 4 years allowance and just one year have been paid. What happened to the other 3 years? It is their money they are fighting for. Just like your father has kids to cater for,so are lecturers too.They are human like you and they deserve the best in life. Government should pay up their allowances and let the students go back to school. 1 Like |

The lectures are on Academic/teaching strike and not total strike.. They will hide under the ''Research clause'' to get their salary. These guys are profs, real PHD holders and they know the rule. They will claim to be supervising projects, research etc. Even if ASUU embarks on strike for ten years, the government have to pay them. They are employed to teach and research... And they still sign attendance even, the university employment Act toys with the labor law and makes mockery of it. Another example is the compulsory sabbatical after 6 years of teaching.... The case of Unilorin 44, abi na 41 sef is still fresh!! They get paid for working elsewhere with promotion as accrued over the long impasse! 2 Likes |
