Dickson: We Can No Longer Fund Niger Delta Varsity by dridowu: 8:41pm On Jun 09, 2016
The Governor of Bayelsa State, Mr Seriake Dickson, on Thursday disclosed that the state government could no longer continue funding the state-owned Niger Delta University in Wilberforce Island, Amassoma.

Dickson, who spoke during a meeting with the Governing Council and principal officers of NDU in Government House, Yenagoa, noted that he could not sustain the existing funding system owing to the present poor financial standing of the state.

He called on the striking workers and management of the only state-owned university in the state to be more resourceful and innovative in generating revenue for the institution.

The governor noted that a situation where the state government’s monthly subvention of about N480 million is spent on only the university’s recurrent expenditure was ‘unsustainable’.

He harped on the need for the University leadership to be prudent in the use of funds, with a view to enabling the institution gain some degree of financial autonomy.

Dickson called on the Academic Staff Union of University, ASUU, to call off the ongoing strike action caused by the sharp drop in state revenues.

The only resourcefulness that most Nigerian university school management know is extortion.

A little Perseverance Mr Dickson. The avengers are on their way to rescue Bayelsa.

By the time they're through with bombing every every, money will appear.

Just allow them finish dealing with buhari and Tinubu first.

Shhhhh. Don't go there o. The avengers only destroy the facilities that feed Hausa/Fulani and Yoruba people particularly osun and kano.

They don't touch the assets that generate revenue for Bayelsa, Delta, Ebonyi, Abia etc cheesy

The wisdom of the Ultimate pipeline night warriors and their keyboard online militants is unbeatable cheesy

Instead of Dickson to tell the Avengers to blow the goddamn University off the surface of the earth so that he won't have any University to bother about funding, he is here yearning dust.

See suggestion!! Bros, did u receive lessons from Hitler?

This your suggestion is what they call "The final solution"

All his worries will just end. Then to solve any future salary agitation, he should ask the avengers to blow up the state Secretariat. That way all workers go retire and stop disturbing govt for salary cheesy

What is he doing with the jumbo allocation he recieves every month, the IGR from oil companies, etc?... Nawa oo shocked Please nobody should quote me angry angry

The Niger Delta and IPOBians are just wonderful people. I urge you NEVER to stop bombing things up and keep sending your few investment down to the South West (Lagos, Ondo, Ogun to join very soon)....I know the oil companies wont relocate from Bayelsa to any neighbouring state habouring these Marvel Comic Avengers, especially their IPOBian lovers, they will rather come down to we the Amala people. God bless the Amala tribe...atleast, we have a functioning brain, we have a state that is aiming at generating 50 billion naira monthly, and another state called Ogun State that was formerly generating a paltry sum of 2billion monthly, which has no jumped to 17 billion, and hope to outdo Lagos in the next 6 years. Atleast, we the amale people are not behaving like these crazy deranged mad people who are setting their regions back by 1000 years, yet the same wailers wont stop blaming Yorubas for their backwardness and the death of their region. May Allah give you more ability to bomb the entire region cheesy cheesy cheesy cheesy BLOW BLOW BLOW AWAY! You have the Amala support grin grin grin

You know what? On second thoughts I've realized that the best way of solving this ND militancy crisis is to just leave them alone. Forget about our oil for now and see this as a blessing and sign from God to discover other potentials and mineral resources in other parts of the country. FG should even abort federal projects there sef cos the militants would likely go blow them up. Totally ignore the region. Let them continue destroying their lands, one day my brothers and sisters will wake up to the harsh reality that they've been doing themselves all along and it will humble them by force, then Nigeria would have discovered other revenue generating areas and would care less about our oiyel, then maybe the same militants will start begging the FG to come back and explore the oiyel.
Smh.
I'm from that region but honestly I think it's high time my people learnt a very tough lesson.

What do you expect?? Just set up a department or Faculty of Pipeline Blow up Technology and your youths will troop to the university.
Nonsense. These are the 'leaders' that should have been visionary enough to know that the amnesty payment will destroy their youths. You have not seen anything yet, just wait until the children of these generation of pipeline destroyers and lazy amnesty collectors grow up. Shiorr .
When a state like Ogun State has more than 5 tertiary institutions and no single one is even allowed to die.Osun and Ondo states even have two universities!!

A lot of wise sayings capture these moments

"When life throws lemons at you, make lemonade"

"When life throws bricks at you, start building"

"When a door closes, God opens a window"

Life is always about boom and bust. This is our bust period and surely it'll pass while we come out stronger. I hope the bombings lead to a renegotiation of the Nigerian union.

Let regions be allowed to determine their destiny as obtained in the first republic before decree 34 brought the devil into the matter.
