I learnt the striking ASUU, having heard of what other strikers like messi, ronaldo, van persie are earining in their various schools (sorry, clubs) have decided not to go back to the classroom till their pay is same with their fellow strikers.

wal Asr tinz.

I tink we student should make our own demands too from FG n ASUU for all d damage they ve caused!

92billion was demanded. The so called money is not up to half of the money. ASUU is not the bad 1 here, the federal govt is. Goodluck JoLantern, well done ehn, stop playing with us ooo

ledafaze: Goodluck thinks this will bring back the PDP fraction abi do you think it will make the students vote for you? I am sorry... Ure on your own.

Up Buhari!

Buhari? Ahahahahahahahaha If BuHARi wins next election let arsenal win treble and Giroud win Ballon d'or..Nigga u Sick in d ANUS

ledafaze: Goodluck thinks this will bring back the PDP fraction abi do you think it will make the students vote for you? I am sorry... Ure on your own.

Up Buhari!

Uchu!

Nomski0: ASUU should allow us resume. We dont want end time to meet us while we're in school.

End time beware

Good, better,best! ASUU wl neva rest until FG gud is better, nd der better best. GEJ is a failure! We re enjoyin d fresh breath.

We should realise that both ASUU and FG are taking the Nigerian Students for granted. Do our lecturers want to really raise the standard of education in this country? If they do, why don't they start from attending classes as they should; reduce or stop selling handouts to students; reduce or stop encouraging sorting in our higher institutions; reduce or stop harassing students sexually. If ASUU is sincere, why have they accepted the 100billion disbursed by FG and not insist on the 400billion proposed earlier? ASUU I see are a bunch of selfish people fighting for their own pockets using our standard of education as an excuse. If they are sincere why don't they let the FG verify their claim for 92billion instead of insisting on it or nothing. Yes, they've got a good argument I don't doubt that but I've got more questions. What have our lecturers done with the internally generated revenues from our universities? Come to think of it; some of our Nigerian universities have denied the Nigerian students their rights and here they are seeking theirs. Haven't they heard that he that comes to equity must come with clean hands? Our lecturers in the name of ASUU are not sincere with their intentions and this strike. We the Nigerian Students are asking ASUU to shift grounds and make some concessions to enable us return to school.

30 billion is not even up to half of the accrued total allowance which is 87billion. Although I am affected by the on-going distortion in the academic school calender,but I still want ASUU to continue with the strike until FG fulfils its agreement

Apparently,Nigerian universities are lagging behind in all things. Only Harvard university funds their school with almost 600 billion in a year,whereas in Nigeria hundreds of universities are about to be funded with just 400 billion in a year,as of last two years it was like 250 billion..SMH

It is really a pitiable disma-pisma,guys and ladies

infact ur making sense jare, NANS shuld go on strike!! #endtimethingz

Lordave: Nice move by FG

Don't get it twisted its all propaganda from FG... They never release any N100B

In the midst of all the propaganda being bandied about and the misinformation swirling around in internet forums in respect of the ASUU strike, certain truths stand out:

a) The FG acknowledged in 2009 that universities were grossly underfunded, that their infrastructure were dilapidated and in dire need of intervention, and that lecturers were teaching and examining bloated classes and logging in excess work hours for which they deserved, but were not paid, due allowances.

b) To adress these anomalies, the FG and ASUU, after lengthy negotiations, signed an agreement in 2009. This agreement was not implemented, and throughout 2010 and 2011 ASUU made several appeals to all segments of society in a bid to persuade the FG to implement the said agreement.

c) Finally, after hundreds of appeal letters, courtesy visits, and press conferences, all of which failed to make any impression on government, lecturers embarked on a strike in December 2011. As a result of the strike, Government called for another round of negotiations and signed an MOU on January 24, 2012, detailing ways in which it would immediately set about implementing the 2009 agreement. Consequently, lecturers suspended their strike.

d) In the 2009 agreement, Government pledged to provide a total of N1.5 trillion spread over three years(2009-2011) to address the infrastructural rot and decay in the universities. Needless to say, this money was never provided. With the coming of the MOU, Government promised "to stimulate the process of revitalising" the system, an intervention which would be built up to a yearly sum of N400 billion "in the next three years" (2013-2015) . Thus, by the MOU, the Government was supposed to provide N400 billion YEARLY. So, a unilateral grant of N100 million for infrastructure is an aberration and is outside the provisions of the ASUU/FGN Agreement.

e) Note that as part of the MOU, the FG set up a NEEDS Assessment Team. This team toured the nation and found that at one of the biggest universities in the north one toilet serves more than 500 students, and in many others, students receive lectures under trees, while many university libraries are largely stocked with books published in the 1970s and 1980s, and laboratories lack the most basic equipment; among other amazing findings.

e) As at today, the provisions of the agreement imply that Government is indebted to all staff of federal universities - note, all staff - to the tune of about N92 billion, an amount that represents their legitimately earned allowances for the past four years. Therefore, the unilateral grant of N30 billion, in lieu of earned allowances, is at best a donation on the part of Government and is outside the Agreement.

f) Given this state of affairs, is it reasonable to ask the lecturers to call off their strike?

striker9: FG has released 30billion naira for the earned allowances.

makin 60bn or is stil dat 30 dy r stil talkin abt?

The money is not even up to half of wat dey demanded for. Too bad FGbese.

andrano: rubish, so if dem pay dem complete dem go become dangote or each lecturer go b world rearchest man or woman? Abeg ASUU make una no gree o.

Stop wagging! Do u knw how it took the gov't to raise the #130 billions? Luk they had to go as far as borowing from NNPC, CBN and even NCC.
ASUU are very selfish and inconsiderate. The best is for the gov't to declare state of emergency in the educational sector.

Just listen to urself and hear ur deminuted brain order ur buccal cavity open saying such belittled statement. Do u think the agreement was done during GEJ tenure? Do u think the negotiation was done with his consent? Think b4 u talk. Whether u like it or not ASUU are being inconsiderate.
