Yahaya Bello, APC Vs Kogi State University Lecturers & Students:

Im just curiously wondering why some of us are keeping quiet even with the nonsensical ongoing industrial action by ASUU, Kogi State University chapter (ksu), even when when the govt. is incommunicado about what she has decided to do.

What has changed, really? I rooted for Yahaya Bello' because of Wada' helpless cluelessness. Now, it seems de ja vu is taking a turn on us.

First, they told us the state was broke due to irregular or reduced monthly allocation from the FG. We were advised to pray and hope on bailout fund which would be used to clear all salary debts immediately.

They said screening would be conducted, that of the lecturers have been long completed.

The incumbent Governor announced that he received the bailout on the 18th of May, 2016.

I would like to ask? Why are we not talking even in the face of no explanation? Why are those who called Wada unprintable names now cowing in quiet?

With one ear, I heard the Governor even said the strike was politicised by the Kogi State University VC to witch-hunt his administration because he is Ebira, relaxing on the logic that Wada was an Igala man and the Igala VC never went on strike with his lecturers when he was in power, forgetting that the same VC has been providing soft loans for the lecturers to cushion the effect of the inconsistent menstrual pain called salary.

It is also on record that the Students Union Government (SUG), in recent weeks embarked on many Ajala visits to the Glass House in attempts to pacify the Governor to roll the salary backlogs, however many described those efforts as fruitless as no exact person can give an informed position on when the lecturers would be paid.

The warts in my heart is to learn daily that Kogi State University, which was the best State citadel of knowledge during the FS Idachaba' VC regime, and the dream of many lecturers in other institutions has in recent time witnessed brain drain. Informal quarters have placed the number of lecturers in massive exodus from the university to other institutions to be above fourty (40).

A student of the institution, Mr, Ali Abbah also reported earlier that the Governor had dissolved the School's Governing Council, which without that, results cannot be approved for NYSC mobilisation for graduated students.

It is also worthy to note that under this Yahaya Bello' regime, no one seems to know what anyone is about to do. For every sensitive administration, communication between government and the governed is key to the success of that administration.

It is painful that students should be the grass of any elephant and government war. We cannot take this anymore. Our future is been held hostage to what we don't even understand.

Please, as a concerned Kogite, I don't care who becomes the governor, if he likes, he can be an Igbo man, but let him provide us quality leadership. It is insensitive for the state governor not to give priority to what drives the excellence of his state (Education).

The painful pill to swallow is to know that 20BN bailout fund is now at the coffers of thestate government and she is yet to anything while the institution' lecturers seek greener pastures elsewhere.

It seems anything APC is now actually insensitive to the plight of those she governs. They have subjected the fate of the students to political expediency. Enough is enough! Something has to be done this week or they'll be massive revolt from the students.

Please share this post until His Excellency, Gov. Yahaya Bello and his Media team sees this to explain what is going on. We are tired of speculations.

Comrade Promise Emmanuel

seems like this APC govt is up to no good,and has nothing to offer for this country.


after when world universities ranking are released and they see Ghanian and Kenyan universities making it, Zombies will open their mouth and say it's a lie,or the list ain't real or credible.when u can't take care of yours,how do u expect to make it.

Dis govt is a scam.

Lord save us from APC but I just noticed that the VC of Kogi State University is an Ebira, The Rector of Kogi State Polytechnic is an Ebira and also the Governor of Kogi State is also Ebira. Ebi like say na Ebira get Kogi now o, anyways God please take charge.

So why you come add Igbo to the matter?

We are tired of yahaya bello's administration. Kogites are suffering. Since he assumed office, it's been hell for people in the state. Yahaya bello is our regret for voting APC right now.

This isn't true. The VC of the Kogi state university is not an Ebira, he's an Igala man.

I can feel ur pain.... God will deliver this country frm leaders that lack vision

The school's system is corrupt.....and I mean very corrupt. I don't know y I detest that school so much.

Please brother I need some answers. Are you saying the Lautech teaching hospital Oshogbo has been strike since and haven't resumed at any time for the past eight months?Heard from someone they resumed around late April to early May. Also, please have the doctors there been working and attending to patients all this while, or they've been on full strike since for the past eight months too? I'll be very glad if you can provide me this information. Thanks.

You will be tired cos he is not an Igala by tribe. Your people have succeeded in crippling the state's economy, the new governor is cleaning the mess of your people and you are here ranting and wailing. Igala people and Corruption is just like shiit and flies

it is well with our education system

I know a day will come when things will go right in the country
I hope the youths will stand up and fight when it counts to liberate this country from the mafians ruling her

Nice one bro. It is so pathetic that the present administration of GYB has been a fiasco. The governor is not interested in the plight of his indigenes.

Am a student of this institution, weeping in Korea

bello shld pay pensionier, LG worker, teacher their salary. bello wont b diff frm fayose.

This good for nothing gov ought to be concerned about the plight of kogites because he shouldn't forget he inherited votes from late prince Audu of blessed memory.

This young gov ought to be vibrant and delivering dividends of democracy so that when the youths wants to via for political office,they will be considered.

This tribalistic gov ought to be winning the hearts of kogites with good governance because he should remember he is from the minority.

You see that you have myopically tribalized it? Isn't the strike affecting both Igala and Ebira students, including the lecturers?

Lets learn to think without tribalism.

Can you explain why the lecturers are yet to be paid?

This 40 year old polygamist is turning a disappointment.
And I really rooted for him,hoping that his young age will bring some dynamism needed in the state.
