he National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS) has vehemently opposed the lingering strike by the Academic Staff Union of Universities, ASUU.

NANS at a press briefing in Kano affirmed that some of the demands by the union were very “unrealistic and un -implementable”

The National President of the Union, Yinka Gbadebo, had during the press briefing appealed to the striking lecturers to suspend the ongoing strike, while dialogue towards peaceful resolution of the disagreement continues.


Yinka said, “in the history of ASUU strike, no government has ever responded positively the way President Goodluck Jonathan’s administration has done, and I believe strongly this gesture should be reciprocated for the sake of harmony.”

Mr. Gbadebo in company of representatives of student leaders from more than 40 universities from across the country blamed the leadership of ASUU for boycotting a meeting earlier scheduled with the student body(NANS), saying that the meeting would have played a major role towards resolving the ongoing face-off.

“In as much as we sympathise with ASUU over the predicament that resulted into the industrial action, millions of Nigerian students are simply tired of staying at home, hence we appeal that the strike be called off, and negotiations resume immediately,” he affirmed

[b]AN UPDATE ON ONGOING ASUU
NEGOTIATIONS
FOLLOWING TWO RECENT MEETINGS
WITH VICE-
PRESIDENT NAMADI SAMBO
October 16, 2013
From the Office of the Vice-Chancellor
Following two meetings (on Thursday 19th
Sept 2013
and Friday 11th Oct 2013) of representatives
of the
AVCNU (Association of Vice-Chancellors of
Nigerian
Universities, led by CVC Chairman, Prof.
Hamisu of
ATBU) and ASUU Representatives (led by its
President, Dr. N. Fagge) with the Vice-
President of the
Federal Republic of Nigeria, Arc. N. Sambo,
Minister of
Education Barr. N. Wike and others, all Vice-
Chancellors have been urged to inform and
enlighten
our academic and other staff on the following
developments so that we can ensure a return
to
normalcy in our universities within the
shortest
possible time
1. Earned Allowances: The N30 billion
already released
will now be increased to N40 billion, and
should be
regarded only as first installment, and not a
once-and-
for-all payment. Government will top it up
with further
releases once universities are through with
the
disbursement of this new figure of N40
million, so
Vice-Chancellors are urged to expedite this
disbursement within the shortest possible
time using
guiding templates that have been sent by the
CVC.
2. NEEDS Assessment Capital Money:
Government
was cognizant and mindful of the ability of
Universities
to effectively/efficiently utilize the N100
billion fund
immediately, hence that figure. However, in
addition to
this N100 billion dedicated and already made
available
for 2013, N200 billion (increased from N150
billion
previously agreed) will now be earmarked in
the 2014
Budget as well as each of the following three-
four
years until the Universities are brought to
world-class
standard.
3. Project Prioritization: Universities will now
be
allowed to determine their priorities and not
be “rail-
roaded” into implementing a pre-determined
set of
projects with respect to the NEEDS
assessment.
Decisions are not to be centralized.
4. TETFund Intervention: Government
assured that
the operations of the TETFund will not be
impaired,
and that the regular TETFund intervention
disbursement to Universities will continue,
unaffected.
So the NEEDS assessment capital outlays are
in
addition to regular TETFund intervention.
5. Project Monitoring: A new Implementation
Monitoring Committee (IMC) for the NEEDS
Assessment intervention for universities has
been set
up to take over from the Suswan Committee.
The new
one is under the Federal Ministry of
Education and
chaired by the Honorable Minister of
Education. In
addition, to build confidence and ensure
faithful
implementation and prevent any relapse as
before, the
Vice President will meet quarterly with the
IMC to
monitor progress.
6. Blueprint: ASUU was mandated to submit a
blue
print for revitalizing the Universities to the
Vice
President.
7. Official Agreement Document: A signed
document
would be issued very soon to itemize the full
issues on
which this present consensus outlined here,
brokered
by AVCNU, has been reached.
8. An Appeal to Call Off Strike: The Vice-
President
Sambo appealed to ASUU to call off the strike
and
apologized for the “take-it-or-leave-it”
comments
credited to the Hon Minister of Finance. All
other
parties present at the meetings also prevailed
on the
ASUU leadership to consult objectively with
its
members to get them to agree with what is
now on the
table and to call off the strike as soon as
possible after
the Sallah break of Tuesday/Wednesday
October 15/16
2013.
9. ASUU President Responds: At both
meetings, the
President of ASUU thanked the VP for taking
over
negotiations and promised to consult with his
ASUU
Constituency.
We keep our fingers firmly crossed, as we
await both
the official consensus agreement document
and full
ASUU reaction. Statesmanship on all sides is
called for
at this point in time.
Thank you.
Prof. Mobolaji E. Aluko
Vice-Chancellor

ASUU Members Device
Strategies to Survive
FG’s ‘No Work No Pay’
Policy
We informed you when FG invoked the
‘No Work No Pay’ Policy against the
striking lecturers (ASUU) and the
reply from ASUU that the ‘No Work No
Pay’ policy would not deter them from
continuing with the strike. They have
now found a means to cushion the
effects of the ‘No Work No Pay’ policy
used by the Federal Government.
The atmosphere told the story, their
body languages hid their fears. At the
ASUU UI congress on Thursday, the
discuss was not how to end the
lingering 103-day old strike or its
effect on the students, but how
members would survive while the strike
lasts.
The congress, which was snubbed by
top ASUU stalwarts in the University
such as Professor Francis Egbokhare,
Dr. Chris Ogbogbo, Dr. ‘Sola Olorunyomi
and Dr, ‘Doyin Odebowale, started at
about 10am and lasted till about 2pm
with members of the union resolved to
sustain the strike for as long as it
would go.
In attendance were Dr. Segun Aremu,
ASUU National Treasurer—who is
allegedly aiming at the Union’s National
President’s Position, UI ASUU Chairman,
Dr. ‘Segun Ajiboye, and other local
executive members of the Union and a
handful of other staff. Also in
attendance was the University of
Ibadan Vice Chancellor, Professor
Isaac Adewole who addressed the
congress briefly before heading to
Abuja.
At the gathering, which a don referred
to as a platform for the expression of
the lecturers’ greed, members
discussed how to survive while their
salaries were being withheld in line
with the no-work-no-pay-rule, and
resolved that the local Union’s
cooperatives shall begin to give loans
to members who have been
contributing to the cooperative, while
further deliberations would be held
with the management of the
cooperative in the case of new
members.
In his address to the congress,
Professor Isaac Adewole raised ASUU’s
hope that the FG was ready to shift
grounds going by the series of
meetings the Sambo-led committee,
which he is a part of, have had. The VC
who noted that another meeting was
already schedule for Thursday Evening
and Friday morning informed the Union
about the complaint of the FG with
regard to the lackadaisical attitudes
of ASUU members to applying for the
billions of Naira available to the
University in the TETFUND account
both for research and development,
and suggested that it would be right
for ASUU to be prepared to shift
grounds too in their supposed
struggle.
A don who spoke with Campus Times
after the congress regretted that
the struggle has been reduced to
what the Union will benefit from the
strike with no regard for the plights
of the students who are the innocent
victims of the crisis. “My colleagues
will always say that the struggle would
eventually be to the benefit of our
students, but if you have followed our
congress so far since the strike
began, not once has the congress
discussed the plight of our students.
It is always about the earned
allowance. Many of my colleagues have
built castles in their mind with the
earned allowance before getting it so
it is either they get the earned
allowance or the system crumbles,”
he said.
Another don who was quite
philosophical in his approach said the
union has reduced itself to nothing
more than a gathering of garage
thugs. According to him, “you don’t
argue with a fool lest you yourself
become a fool. If the FG has decided to
make itself a fool, ASUU should not
have descended into the same arena
with them”.
In his own reaction, Dr. ‘Demola Lewis
said students should not be in a hurry
to see the strike called off if the FG
would not grant the lecturers’
demands. “If we rush you back to
school now, you’ll still stay at home
for 5 or more years before you get a
job after graduating because they
say you are not employable so let’s
get it right first.” He said.
Meanwhile students of the University
of Ibadan, especially the final year
students, are already lamenting over
the protracted industrial action by
ASUU. A final year Chemistry student
who spoke with Campus Times
complained about the fact that the
materials she had acquired for her
final year research work were already
becoming useless. Another student
informed our correspondent that he
had been spending fortune on feeding
the albino rats he had bought for his
final year project as he could not
continue his research because of the
lingering ASUU strike. Both students
pleaded with the union to call off its
strike in the interest of the
students as many of their colleagues
were already frustrated by the 1103-
day old strike.
A new twist in the development, Campus
Times gathered, is the plan by
landlords in UI areas to increase their
rents as soon as the year is over.
Some students who resides in the
Agbowo area, close to the University,
informed Campus Times that their
landlords had already informed them
that they should be ready for a slight
increase in their rent following the
economic situation in the country.
Kola, a final year student of UI, inform
CT that “my landlord recently
cemented the passage in the house
and just a week after he was done, he
simply told me that he would be
increasing the rent from the current
N65,000 to N85,000 in the coming year.
I did not plan to stay in the house
beyond this year as I had thought
that by November, I would have
graduated, see what ASUU has caused
me now?”. Kola’s story was
buttressed by Seun, another final
year student who said she was already
looking for someone to squat with till
the end of the session as her parent
already told her that they could not
afford another year’s rent. “My
landlord recently called me and asked
when I was going to graduate, I
thought he was pitying my plight and I
told him we are still hoping that ASUU
would call of their strike so that I can
finish my last semester and leave
Ibadan. But the man simply told me that
he plans to renovating the house so
he would have to increase the rent by
next year. I did not even bother to
call home because I already know what
the reply will be, right now, I am just
going to look for somewhere to squat
till the end of the session.” She
said.
In the meantime, the National
Association of Nigerian Students
(NANS) has threatened to expose
ASUU’s greed should the Union fails to
call off its industrial action soon. The
NANS President, Comrade Yinka
Gbadebo who spoke with journalists in
Abuja recently, said that the union’s
demands were egocentric and that
this attitude has so far been largely
responsible for the corruption and
rot in the university system.
A member of the student body
criticized ASUU for being insensitive
to the plights of the Nigerian
students. The student was
particularly disappointed in the UI
ASUU chairman, Dr. Ajiboye over a
recent statement credited to him
that “students would graduate as
and when due”. According to him,
“is this the best leader UI lecturers
could produce? Someone who leaves
issues and attacks personalities,
someone who always stand logic on its
heads and speaks flawed English
language. I am disappointed in the
Union. What does he mean by students
would resume as and when due when the
Union has been on strike for over
3months? Like he told Bishops
Orisajafor, I think this man is himself
suffering from diarrhea of the
mouth” he said.
A don who agreed with NANS informed
CT that “just like the President
said, in a sane world, why should state
universities join a strike in which
Federal institutions are fighting the
FG? Of what academic value would it be
to the Union if the FG transfers its
landed property in the Universities to
the Universities? And why should the
union be fighting and threatening to
crumble the system because of
increased investment in
infrastructure in the Universities
when the managements of many of
these institutions have not been able
to account for what they have got so
far? The earned allowance issue is like
a gateman asking his boss for
allowances for opening and closing the
gate, what was he paid to do? So for
marking scripts and supervising
projects lecturers want to be paid
bogus allowances or they will crumble
the system, if this is the idea running
in our ivory towers don’t you see that
the country is finished? Nobody
considers the students anymore.”
The Nigerian Tribune had also lent its
voice in criticizing ASUU over its
protracted strike. In its editorial on
Oct. 2, the newspaper said: “It is no
longer possible to dismiss the
suspicion that ASUU is playing politics
with the strike because of its
adamant position in the face of the
conciliatory approach taken by the
Federal Government.”
As more and more criticizing continue
to dog the 103-day old industrial
action by ASUU, only time will tell what
will become of ASUU when it eventually
accedes to Nigerians’ plea that the
Union should seek an alternative
means of pushing its demands before
the Federal Government.

the reply will be, right now, I am just
going to look for somewhere to squat
till the end of the session.” She
said.
In the meantime, the National
Association of Nigerian Students
(NANS) has threatened to expose
ASUU’s greed should the Union fails to
call off its industrial action soon. The
NANS President, Comrade Yinka
Gbadebo who spoke with journalists in
Abuja recently, said that the union’s
demands were egocentric and that
this attitude has so far been largely
responsible for the corruption and
rot in the university system.
A member of the student body
criticized ASUU for being insensitive
to the plights of the Nigerian
students. The student was
particularly disappointed in the UI
ASUU chairman, Dr. Ajiboye over a
recent statement credited to him
that “students would graduate as
and when due”. According to him,
“is this the best leader UI lecturers
could produce? Someone who leaves
issues and attacks personalities,
someone who always stand logic on its
heads and speaks flawed English
language. I am disappointed in the
Union. What does he mean by students
would resume as and when due when the
Union has been on strike for over
3months? Like he told Bishops
Orisajafor, I think this man is himself
suffering from diarrhea of the
mouth” he said.
A don who agreed with NANS informed
CT that “just like the President
said, in a sane world, why should state
universities join a strike in which
Federal institutions are fighting the
FG? Of what academic value would it be
to the Union if the FG transfers its
landed property in the Universities to
the Universities? And why should the
union be fighting and threatening to
crumble the system because of
increased investment in
infrastructure in the Universities
when the managements of many of
these institutions have not been able
to account for what they have got so
far? The earned allowance issue is like
a gateman asking his boss for
allowances for opening and closing the
gate, what was he paid to do? So for
marking scripts and supervising
projects lecturers want to be paid
bogus allowances or they will crumble
the system, if this is the idea running
in our ivory towers don’t you see that
the country is finished? Nobody
considers the students anymore.”
The Nigerian Tribune had also lent its
voice in criticizing ASUU over its
protracted strike. In its editorial on
Oct. 2, the newspaper said: “It is no
longer possible to dismiss the
suspicion that ASUU is playing politics
with the strike because of its
adamant position in the face of the
conciliatory approach taken by the
Federal Government.”
As more and more criticizing continue
to dog the 103-day old industrial
action by ASUU, only time will tell what
will become of ASUU when it eventually
accedes to Nigerians’ plea that the
Union should seek an alternative
means of pushing its demands before
the Federal Government.
Hmm speechless

ASUU STRIKE: We ‘re yet to receive N100bn from FG – VCs
on october 17, 2013 at 12:24 am in news
BY IKENNA ASOMBA
Seven weeks after the Federal Government announced that it has commenced implementation of the agreement signed with the Academic Staff Union of Universities, ASUU, by disbursing N100 billion to  59 public universities, the affected tertiary institutions have raised alarm that they are yet to receive the fund.
The Governor Gabriel Suswan-led Presidential Implementation Committee on Needs of Nigerian Universities was said to have sourced the fund within 16 days of its inauguration from the Central Bank of Nigeria, CBN, Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation, NNPC, Nigerian Communications Commission, NCC, and other government agencies.

The committee thereafter adopted a sharing formula for each of the university based on student population and the depth of infrastructural decay.
The money was meant for the refurbishment/renovation and  provision of new facilities such as hostels, lecture theatres and lecture rooms, laboratories and libraries in the universities.
Reacting to report that the money has been released to the universities, Vice Chancellor of one of the universities in the South East said “the Federal Government has only sent us a memo through the Ministry of Education that we are getting N650 million from the funds. Until we get alert into the university’s account, we will know how sincere the government is but presently we are yet to receive the money.”
Similarly, the Vice Chancellor of another university in the South West disclosed that the N1.2 billion earmarked for his university has not been paid either as cheque or cash into the university’s account.
It was gathered from the committee that 13 Federal universities have been left out of the initial disbursement. They are Federal University, Gashua; Federal University, Dutse, Jigawa State; Federal University, Dutsin-ma, Katsina; Federal University, Kashere, Gombe State; Federal University, Lafia, Nasarawa State; Federal University, Lokoja, Kogi State; Federal University, Ndufu-Alike, Ebonyi State; and Federal University, Otuoke, Bayelsa State. Others are FederalUniversity, Wukari, TarabaState; FederalUniversity, Birnin-Kebbi, KebbiState; FederalUniversity, Gusau, ZamfaraState; FederalUniversity, Oye-Ekiti, EkitiState; and PoliceAcademy, Wudil.
Vanguard learnt that these universities were left out because they have just been established by the present administration between 2011 and 2013 which committed trillions of naira in their establishment and that there was no need for additional funding.
Five state universities that were also unlucky are: BukarAbbaIbrahimUniversity, Damaturu, YobeState; North-WestUniversity, KanoState; SokotoStateUniversity; Tai Solarin University of Education, Ijebu-Ode; OgunState; TechnicalUniversity, Ibadan, OyoState.
Top five Federal universities that got the lion’s share of the money were: University of Ibadan, UI, with  students population of 33,481 which got N3.250 billion; University of Benin, UNIBEN, with students population of 56,501 got N3.200 billion; Ahmadu Bello University, ABU, with students population of 49,436 got N3.200 billion; University of Port-Harcourt, UNIPORT, with students population of 53,288 got N3.050 billion; while University of Lagos, UNILAG, with students population of 49,179 also got N3.050 billion,
Also, the state universities that benefitted are: Ebonyi State University, EBSU, with students population of 23,437 got N3.050 billion; Niger Delta University, NDU, Wilberforce Island with 12,793 students population received N2.800 billion; Umaru Musa Yar’Adua University, Katsina with students population of 4,753 received N2.450 billion; Gombe State University, GSU, with students population of 4,383 got N2.450 billion, whereas the Lagos State University, LASU, Ojo with the highest students population of 90,885 among all the considered universities got N1.300 billion.
