The National President of the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU), Professor Biodun Ogunyemi, has vowed that they will protect university autonomy with the last drop of their blood.

Ogunyemi made this claer in a press statement made available to newsmen in Ibadan, the Oyo State capital.

The statement was titled “On President Buhari’s No IPPIS, No Salary” and Ogunyemi explained that the directive was meant for civil servants and not university lecturers.

The ASUU president revealed that on January 9, 2020, they reached an understanding with President Muhammadu Buhari, to develop the University Transparency and Accountability Solution (UTAS), which will be sensitive to the operations of the university system, accommodate perculiarities and respect autonomy.

Ogunyemi also claimed ASUU has spent millions of naira to develop the UTAS, which has been presented to the Federal Ministry of Education.

“We are aware of the antics of bureaucrats, especially in the Office of the Accountant-General of the Federation, aimed at bringing universities under their control. ASUU will not fold its arms and watch the gains we made on the autonomy of Nigerian universities slip by.


“It took us several years of continuous struggle during the military to get here. So, let nobody hide under the name of President Muhammadu Buhari to attack the autonomy of public universities because Nigerian scholars are prepared to resist it to the last drop of their blood,” the statement read in part.

Aluta continua!!!

Now the less privileged children managing the quack universities are now suffering.

You people are mad! You should write we will protect our selfish interests with our last blood.

Increase ASUU salary, remove them from IPPIS or pay them owed salary and they'll resume. They'll no longer continue strikes due to inadequate molecular laboratories, efficient lecture rooms with use of projectors, e-learning.

The body of ASUU is self-serving the interests of lecturers money-wise and not students.

FG should do all in their power to resume academic activities for our academic institutions as soon as possible. Almost one year gone with no e-learning or whatsoever. Depression, frustration, academic decadence, moral decay are about to set in as YAHOO has gone international.

Reopen schools now.

Arrrrrrrh

, Professor Biodun Ogunyemi, has vowed that they will protect university autonomy with the last drop of their blood.

Nigeria News Sometimes Na comedy.

Do the have blood! If you die in this struggle the world will not end o, becareful with ur words

Nah dem sabi

Autonomy as what...you frauds are employeess...

Was ASUU created to deny students of their education with the guise of saying that the government are not paying your salaries..

Is it not the same greedy, wicked, abusive, sadistic and perverted Nigerian lectures that are mostly members of ASUU...so why should we ever believe that you are not after your selfish interest...have ASUU ever stood for the betterment of education in Nigeria ...all they care about is their pockets infact....#EndASUU#

We don't need your blood, we have enough. Are you going to accept IPPIS or not?

another way of saying we will protect our pockets with our blood

A Professor and Geologist has this to say as a comment about FG-ASUU saga___

Even in ASUU, this is the worst leadership I have seen in 25years in the university. Both government and ASUU are not sincere on university education in Nigeria. I have not seen any intellectualism in the attitude of both government and ASUU. I will touch little things that doesn't make sense; why is ASUU on strike now? It is because of IPPIS and after losing out on that they shifted the goalpost to "revitalization of universities" which is very unrealistic. Why would a sensible person declare strike during coronavirus global confusion? Where is the much acclaimed knowledge? This strike was never voted for at individual branches as usual but truncated by the ASUU NEC. It never happened this way before. The IPPIS unveiled an unbelievable number of ghost workers in the university payroll whole the former gifmis payroll that ASUU preferred accommodated all those ghost workers. So the complain about IPPIS is baseless and unfounded. Why would a professor be allow to visit more than two universities in a month? How would he cover the contact hours and quality delivery to students if he has to visit three, four, five and etc universities? All for money. Who are then killing the university education from within? Why would this malpractice be allow simply because it is ASUU. Respect should be earn through honesty. What is revitalization? Who will source over N1 trillion naira and throw it to universities for unspecified projects and look the other way? This will never happen. How many universities judiciously utilized the money given by President Goodluck Jonathan for Needs Assessment Projects? Infact you will see better projects in State Universities than federal universities. Why is ASUU silent about this? Who actually benefits from major projects? University Management and Union officials as supervisors but not lecturers. TETFUND is doing good in their intervention projects in all universities, so why this revitalization again? Why is ASUU drifting away from sourcing welfare of its members and targeting revitalization? Are they fighting for its members of universities management? As it is now, majority of ASUU member have gone to Abuja and enrolled for the IPPIS because the deception is too much. No government in the history of Nigeria is interested in education, so only sincerity of purpose, honesty and transparency in side of ASUU would defeat them and not stupid pride and propaganda. If Nigerian Universities are winning research grants and do the research, they would have solve their problems and earn more respect. Does it take new laboratory or office to put up an application for a good research? If ASUU had being encouraging good research, things would not have being this bad. You cannot help a politicians to rig elections and expect them to respect you.

I tell u

Protecting autonomy shouldn't be done at the expense of standard of education and school calendar. They should do it ASAP and let's get over with it.
