University of Abuja, Nigeria

UPDATE: In a telephone interview with Daily Trust, the ASUU chairman, UniAbuja Chapter, Dr. Clement Chup says the union dared the federal government to sack its members over the prolonged universities' strike.

"The school can go ahead and ask students to resume but we won’t do any work; we won’t teach them. It is not our responsibility to resume until ASUU decides.

"We’re not afraid of that (sack). He (Education minister) can go to the motor park to recruit lecturers that will lecture the students. You can now see the insincerity of some people in government. We told the government
when we met that we’re ready to suspend the strike once we’re able to clarify some issues in our agreements with them. But they went ahead without clarifying those issues at stake. We dare them to sack us," he said.
 
Earlier...

Following this morning’s directive by the Federal Government that all Vice Chancellors of Federal Universities should re- open their universities for academic activities, the management of the University of Abuja has directed its students to resume academic activities on Sunday, the 1st of December.

The statement was this morning signed by the University registrar.

Now that's what I'm talking about. The battle line has just been drawn.

**Faints**

Abegii
this ASUU strike issue don tire me joor!

This president is acting too stupid for his own good!

I don't know what these people want from mr. President.
ASUU, nPDP, APC, BOKO HARAM, G7, AMAECHI. etc.
Allow him transform this country can't u see he's still young 2 cope with pressure?

Expected response from ASUU. Now the battle line is drawn. The students should brace up. The country must not surrender to terrorism from trade unions.

how many of our corrupt politicians have been sacked by this govt? hahahahahahaha, u wan sack ASUU. ok, we are waiting.

I wonder Y a Boss will ask a subordinate to go back to work and the boss is being quationed, ASUU is bitting more than can chew. The federal govt. Should audit the whole fED university, the should give account of the money that has be allocated to Fed uni. Before now .

We ar named by the white race "people with low IQ"

* ASUU embarked on strike lobbing for huge allocation even wen certain amont has being given to them, it went viral that same money that is ment for running of the accademic up keeps was shared among the lecturers and the mass didn't intervain, now they ar asking for more. I ask the so called low IQ profs. The little that hv been offered to them wat do they hav to show for it if not sleep around with the female students and offering fake scores.

I dare the mass to demand from ASUU audit on wat they hav done so far witz the previose allocations on the possetion.
WHO KNOWS IF THE MONEY Won't GO DOWN DRAIN.
They should show blue print of the old allocations awarded to them and the mass will back them up or Go BACK to class room.

Was told teaching is passion, why being monetize in detriment of poor students.

Sincere 9gerian: Expected response from ASUU. Now the battle line is drawn. The students should brace up. The country must not surrender to terrorism from trade unions.

What terrorism are you blabbing about all around the forum. Can you put sentiment apart for some minutes and reason like a human that you are. The Nigerian FG is not to be trusted and, any reasonable person or group of persons dealing with it should do so with all forms of cautions at his/their disposal. The Federal Government is the one terrorising the masses/students as far as this face-off is concerned. Honour the agreement you entered into, that's all (in Shem Obafaiye's voice)

.....seasonal film....I hope to see d end

This one na serious battle o

Shame to state universities who are on strike. FG dont even know they exist.

mayorall: Shame to state universities who are on strike. FG dont even know they exist.

sincerely, i dont know why the state universities joined the strike, maybe by now, they would realise that they aint recognised by the FG. If they have any issue to settle at all, i think it should be with their respective state government, not doing "follow-follow" alongside with the federal universities.

Now if the federal universities are finally settled by the FG, what will be the lot of the state universities

Let the Showdown begin
Getting so interesting.

1025: how many of our corrupt politicians have been sacked by this govt? hahahahahahaha, u wan sack ASUU. ok, we are waiting.

You have a point there.

tanx waz at my pik of anger wen makn my points nice one

Go To Hell ASUU, Go back to classroom, or be fired.

FYI: Nigerians are yearning to take over your jobs.




On FG decision we stand!

SB Joji: I don't know what these people want from mr. President.
ASUU, nPDP, APC, BOKO HARAM, G7, AMAECHI. etc.

see mumu

ASUU is crazy. If Fashola was the president, he would have sacked them. They are capitalizing on this GEJ's extreme humility and diplomacy.

Anyone with half a brain would know that the threat to sack the striking lecturers even when our universities are presently under-staffed is an idle one and a display of empty bravado. Even if there is a ready-made market to recruit new lecturers from our large army of unemployed graduates, it will take the government a very long time to replace the sacked ones or will former lecturers turned politicians like Jerry Gana and co relinquish their political lives to return back to the classroom?

Besides, this threat is already 5 months late, sacking the lecturers now will put the university system into a bigger turmoil than what we have now. Are we just going to discard some of the very few erudite minds that we still have left to start with those with little or no experience? If the lecturers are sacked, are we planning to immediately replace them with ghosts(Nigeria is a country of ghosts, from ghost workers to ghost boko harams)? Won't universities advertise the vacant positions/offices? Won't it take time for those interested to apply? Won't it take time for the universities to complete the whole recruitment exercise, not to talk of a country riddled with bureaucratic problems? These processes will surely take time, even more than the students have already spent at home. The best bet is to continue with the negotiation, neither ASUU nor Government is a victim here, the real victims are the students.
