THE Alumni Association of Kano University of Technology (AAKUT) rose from its maiden AnnualGeneral Meeting (AGM), yesterday in Kano, and condemned the incessant industrial action by Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU), saying its negative impact on the nation’s education sector is grossly regrettable.

Secretary of the Association, Alhaji Fahad Ibrahim Danladi, who spoke to newsmen at the Murtala Mohammed Library Complex, urged the leadership of ASUU to device other means of agitation, rather than mutilating academic calendar, a situation which he said contribute immensely to the continuous decline in the nation’s educational standard.

Danladi noted thatindustrial action has never been a point for bargain in the developed world, adding that the academics should be more creative in fighting fortheir cause in this modern era.

“Resort to industrial action as a means of arm twisting the federal Government overtime has not in any way yielded any positive result more especially now that downing of tools has become a bandwagon in resolving industrial distribute in Nigeria,” Danladi stated.

He added that, “We are talking of community of egg heads in Nigeria, I personally believe that their approach should be different from the current practice, which in my opinion, would refocus the strategy in industrial dispute.

“Personally, I don’t subscribe to this whole concept of strike action that has been made notorious, it has not work out anything and I don’t think it’s a panacea to the lingering problem education in Nigeria.”

According to him, Nigerian Students and their Parents are tied and done with the several ASUU strikes maintaining that rather than addressing the problems it has continue to plunge the country educational sectorto state of abyss contrary to the principles of development and sound educational system.

“I’msaying with all modesty that the industrial actions of the ASUU has been detrimental to the nation educational sector and has not yielded any positive thing to show as such they should change tactics and adopt new measures that are going to help the education and give a positive direction to as how best things will be improved,”he stated.

NB: incase you are a foreigner

Strike is an annual festival in Nigeria organized by ASUU when students are not expected to go to school for some few months

Doesn't the alumni of this Kano University know that ASUU is an annual festival when students must not go to school?

How could you ask babies not to suck breasts?

Well, lets wait n see if deir statement change anytin abt d strike.

Davijunson: Well, lets wait n see if deir statement change anytin abt d strike.

Assu has hijacked the university system fighting for their own interest.Assu has nt got it right.

Lol "slam"...na wrestling ??

Tell them o o o o oh! ! ! Becos when we retaliate they will call it terrorism!

I totally agree that strike actions have adverse effect on education but strike is the only weapon available to ASUU.
Government signs an agreement and refuses to implement it after 4 years.
ASUU calls press conference appealing to government and all Nigerians: Government remains unperturbed.
ASUU goes on strike and someone says there are better ways to agitate.
Please if you have a better weapon than strike say it and stop telling striking workers to find it.

I have been hearing of ASUU strike since I was a kid yet nothing good has come out of it. If the only instrument ASUU knows how to use in getting its demand is strike then am convinced that they have failed Nigeria students. I don't know the history of university development in developed countries but I doubt that they got there through strike actions (I stand to be corrected).

Students' time are wasted in school, some that have plans are frustrated in the name of strike yet at the end of it employers of labour will still place an age cap on their job adverts. If you have not been a victim you wouldn't understand how it feels to be an undergraduate in Nigeria.

AAKUT shld allow ASUU to fight 4 their right Jo o.


which other means did they what ASUU to use apart from strike?

[s][/s]

These ASUU are very greedy and selfish set people.
Initially, they gave us impression like they were agitating for better infrastructure in Universities and we supported them not knowing the rogues were fighting for their pockets.

Abeg, who won in the match between Eyimba and Bayelsa united? Abi no be the topic?

Abysmal abuse of agitation strategy by ASUU

Well said!!!

Kano University Alumni are on point. ASUU should device a better means of agitation. Are they not egg heads, a team of think thanks that should come out with new inventions/ways to solve myriad of the nation's problem? It is not proper that they are using the same style like Agberos.
Their demands all the time is all about pay rise and comparing their pay with politicians. My point is if you are not satisfied with what your employers are paying you, simply resign and join politics.
If Strike actions are viable tools, they wont be on strike now because past ones should have given them results.
You can't point 'gun' in form of strike on government and claimed that the agreement was willingly signed.

abeg make ASUU chill make i finish ma project b4 dem call off strike....
Bak to playing COD4

pls WANT are you writing

I raised a similar issue in a thread on FB and it has been generating controversies and insults rather than pragmatic ideas and answers.
I want to introduce it on Nairaland so that our Nairalanders can have their say and give their reactions and thoughtful suggestions...

*ASUU AND THE PURPORTED N87 BILLION SAGA*
Pls let's reason together as
adults and rational beings, N87
wholesome billion naira for just 'earned allowances'? Does it not sound ridiculous? It's no longer NEEDS again, it's now 'earned allowances'. This is outside their basic salary oh! I mean, ASUU should be more reasonable. Is it for only teaching or also for inventing, production, fighting, defense and the rest. If ASUU doesn't call off the strike, then they're just being unnecessarily SELFISH! I believe I've spoken the students' mind. What do you think? (NO INSULTS AND ABUSES PLS.)

ASUU is paid to carryout research, let them find a better way to win their case because this strike as a tool of negotiation has failed. They have professors among them, can't they think of more viable options? If things remain as it is right now we will keep hearing of ASUU strikes in the next 20years. Somebody deviced strike as a negotiation tool, is it impossible for ASUU to device a new tool that suit their current state?

ASSU is a bunch of selfish minded fools. They tell students to support them in the strike, that politicians are earning far more money than they are agitating for. How ridiculous and selfish. They better call off that strike. Students are at home doing nothing, while they will at the end of the month receive their salary. Stupid fools
