Ekiti State University a mistake.
From 2012 till date, ASUU strike again.
This will be my second strike experience coupled with the Eksu nternal crisis.
Friends who went to learn work have started making money and training people while i am still an undergraduate waiting for papa's money.

You're even exaggerating the whole thing. Which job in Nigeria will pay a fresh graduate with just B.Sc 300k monthly? That 300k is roughly(and not even up to) the monthly salary of a Senior lecturer in a Nigerian University, and you what it takes to become a Senior Lecturer-Possesion of a PhD with many years of teaching and research experience. It's really a crazy world we live in.

Its about time. This government is the worst in the history of education in this country. Since 2015, the educational sector receives the lowest allocation in the yearly budget. There are no funds for research and our best brains keeping leaving the country in droves.

This was an agreement reached by both the FG and ASUU, why the FG chose to renegade on their part of the agreement leaves a lot to be desired.

It is unfortunate that if you don't shutdown the system and agitate violently the leaders of this country won't listen to your plight.

WHy put the blame on this Govt? Is it this Govt that reach agreement with them? The agreement was reached in 2009 and uptil 2015 GEJ could not fulfil the agreement despite high rise in crude oil instead they keep looting in billion..

ASUU STRIKE LOOMS OVER CONTROVERSIAL 2009 AGREEMENT
source : http://www.eyesoflagos.com/2017/08/ASUU-strike-looms-over-controversial.html

University teachers are set for another strike over the controversial 2009 agreement they reached with the Federal Government among other issues.



A meeting of the National Executive Committee (NEC) of ASUU will hold today in Abuja ahead of the action.

Yesterday, all chapters of the union nationwide held a congress as directed by its national body to decide whether or not to go ahead with the planned strike.

The options given to them are: Whether it should be total and indefinite strike, one month strike, one week notice, and no strike at all.

This followed the directive sent to branches by ASUU National President Prof. Biodun Ogunyemi as he was mandated by the NEC meeting held at the Nasarawa State University (NSU).

Chairman ASUU-Lagos State University (LASU) Dr Isaac Akinloye Oyewunmi said yesterday that the chapter resolved in favour of “total and indefinite strike”.

In August last year, the union threatened strike over thengovernment’s failure to implement the 2009 agreement.

According to the reports gathered by Eyes Of Lagos, Coordinator of ASUU (Lagos Zone) Prof Olusoji Sowande, said the union was tired because efforts to get the agreement honoured were fruitless.

The union listed some of the unresolved issues as: Breach of the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) for the 2009 FG/ASUU Agreement on financing of state universities; breach of the conditions of service; refusal to honour the Earned Academic Allowance (EAA) and re -negotiation of the agreement.

In January, ASUU staged a one-week warning strike.

Union officials said the Federal Government is owing universities over N880 billion in intervention fund.

Other issues according to ASUU oficials are: The Federal Government’s foot-dragging over ‘funds for the revitilisation of public universities, non-release of NUPEMCO operational licence, non-payment of earned academic allowances, payment of fractions/non-payment of salaries, retired professors and their salaries and university staff schools’.

The official said ASUU explored all channels to make the Federal Government see reasons but said: “It seems the Federal Government is more concerned with buying exotic vehicles for the National Assembly while public education and lecturers continue to suffer owing to dilapidated infrastructure.”

He said the union was angry at the failure of the Federal Government to release the operational licence for the union’s pension managers after collecting N1 billion since two years ago.

“Till date the government is owing the intervention funds to the tune of N880 billion. When we approached them for licensing of Nigerian Universities Pension Management Company (NUPEMCO), they asked us to go and bring registration fee, which is supposed to be N150million. Till date, we have paid government N1 billion and our money has been with them for two years and they are not saying anything.

None of this pension administrators can fulfill the University Miscellaneous Act which says university professors must retire with their full money. The money must have been invested and yielding interest for somebody. We are demanding our licence and funding of public universities.”

One day we will talk about how the yar'adua/GEJ administration set us up with this 2009 ASUU agreement.


On the flip side, one must ask ASUU to account for how they've used the money they've collected thus far.
Honestly I have never seen a useless group as ASUU.
They are the one managing the Universities and the massive corruption going in our citadels of learning is heart breaking.
OAU collects 18,000 as development fees every year from freshmen and there is not a single project initiated by the school management.
All new projects are either by Education Trust Fund or PTF.
I am really tired of ASUU.
They will be shouting poor infrastructure before going on strike and when they want to call off the strike, it is salary increment agreement you will be seeing.

Lol u must still be in dreamland to think u can earn 300k immediately after graduation except u are extremely lucky u will earn less than 100k n it will take 10 years b4 u earn abt 300k. Again ur papa must be a Governor for u to get job immediately after graduation. Oya go and add 5 years for job hunting and do the maths again. You will see that is far worst than u projected.

Quick correction. ASUU isn't in charge of running the universities. The VC, registrar, bursar etc aren't ASUU members.

However I do expect ASUU to monitor what the universities are doing with the share they've received thus far.

General impression is that the money provided so far is making minimal impression.

Stop spewing ignorance online. How did the Education Trust fund come about? If all the new projects in your school are ETF projects then you should be thankful for previous ASUU strikes that precipitated the setting up of ETF.
