This is what I think; I don't think it is a wise decision for students to support ASUU's decision to continue to waste our time at home. 1) Why should ASUU pull out of negotiations with the federal government accusing them of being dishonest? Why pull out of a means of finding solution to a lingering problem? 2) Do you think ASUU won't collect their salaries immediately they resume back to work? ASUU is not losing anything!! We are the ones losing. 3) The decadence in the educational sector is not something that started during this regime. It was a gradual decay leading to the almost total collapse (In which the consistent strikes by the lecturers is a factor too) , do you think that decay is something that can be rectified within the twinkle of an eye? 4) I want ASUU to know that the federal government is not losing anything either through the ongoing strike, they(the rulers) have most of their wards/children in private schools and universities abroad. Should the strike continue, it won't hurt the FG in anyway in the long process. 5) According to an article I read this morning, ASUU should look for other alternatives to incessant strikes rather than punishing Nigerian students all the time for offences we do not even know about. By the way, I think we keep on forgetting that FG has implemented most of ASUU's demands ; Retirement age,Bonuses and gave reasonable reasons for some demands that they couldn't meet e.g the transfer of those landed properties,earned allowance. FG has also signed 400 billion to be disbursed for infrastructures over a period of 4 years. I'm not saying FG has done enough, but FG has shifted ground a little and I would expect same from ASUU. Y'all should look back which parastatal in Nigeria has ever gone on strike and got their 100 % demands from the FG? Even the famous subsidy protest that crippled the whole nation couldn't restore the price of PMS back to 70 naira,. So why should ASUU continue to suffer us(the students) when the strike isn't even directly affecting the FG in any way?? 10 Likes |

Nigeria is currently in a state of confusion, everything is about politics and corruption, yesterday some ministers were dropped primarily due to the conflict at the PDP convention, that aside, we can all read the hand writings on the wall from the way things are, the president isn't even concerned about the strike, all he's concerned about is getting re-elected back as president in 2015, nobody seems to know why the strike is still on, and Dr Fagge has kept mute for a while now, the real purpose of the strike is unknown to us, is ASUU fighting for students ? or for her own selfish wants ? In my opinion, these our 'so called' leaders have to go before this curse can be lifted away from our land. 3 Likes |

BEING THE TEXT OF THE PRESS CONFERENCE ADDRESSED BY THE NATIONAL PRESIDENT OF NANS, COMRADE YINKA GBADEBO TODAY 11TH SEPTEMER, 2013 IN LAGOS. All Protocols duly observed. It owes me a pleasure to welcome you all to this all important press conference aimed at addressing salient issues confronting the Education sector vis-à-vis lingering issues between the Academics Staff Union of Universities ASUU and the Federal Government of Nigeria as it affects us as Nigerian Students and its attendant consequence on our Nation at large. It should be noted that it is a globally acceptable fact that Education remains the key ingredient to the development of any society as this cannot be divorced from the success stories of nations that have developed across the world. For over two months, Nigeria Universities have remained closed owned to an indefinite strike declared by ASUU on the basis of the disagreement of the implementation of a previous agreement entered into between the Union and the Federal Government in 2009. We wish to categorically state here that it has become imperative for the Government and ASUU to understand the significant position of Nigerian Students in the tripod that constitutes the University community i.e Management, Teachers and Students. It is our intention today to bring to public knowledge those facts that have remains hidden from us as far as the contents and conditions that have continued to the responsible for the Federal Government and Federal imbroglio are concerned. It is an acceptable that the Educational sectors had largely suffered in the hands of successive Government and this is not peculiar to the Universities and it is on that basis that we want to state our traditional demand that Government must be made to commit at least 26% of our annual budget to the education sector as the minimum recommendation by the UNESCO. Having taken an holistic review of the details inherent in the agreement as signed by the Federal Government and ASUU, it has become germane for us to call on ASUU to reconsider its present adamant stand on the continued closure of our Universities. We must as Nigerians accept that the problem with our Universities have developed over decade and would therefore unimaginable that ASUU with its present stand want it totally resolved within a spate of four years that this agreement was signed. Objectively, ASUU is expected to expect that the demand for an unproved standard of education in Nigeria shall continue as long as our quest for development as a Nation remains on our investment in the Education sector. We hereby disagree with ASUU on the notion that a release of N400 billion per annum as been demanded will face out the mirage of problems confronting the education sector in Nigeria today. While not celebrating the Government in an unprecedented manner had shown responsibility and concern by releasing N100 billion for infrastructural development in our Universities including State owned. While we may not want to go deep into other details of the Federal Government and ASUU agreement which are hitherto considered by us as frivolous and self-serving to the interest of ASUU alone, it is expected that ASUU must at this point bring to the fore the interest of Nigerian Students whom they have been claiming to be fighting for by engaging the Federal Government in further dialogue while returning to class without hesitation. The NANS is no longer comfortable with the attendant consequence of the incessant strike on the lives of Nigerian Students and social implication on the society at large. If cumulatively in the last 10years we have lost 30months to strikes by ASUU which is enough to produce a graduate in our Universities, then the question is what have been the gains and the potency of strikes as q weapon when Students are always at the receiving end. We are now calling on every well meaning Nigerians to prevail on ASUU to resume negotiations with the Federal Government and reopen the Universities without any further delay. We can no longer continue to tolerate this situation which has perpetually made us irrelevant at the point of arriving at these conclusions by ASUU and the Federal Government. The NANS will continue to encourage the Federal Government not to close its doors to further productive negotiations and once again use this medium to appeal strongly and very passionately on behalf of every Nigerian Students to ASUU to please in the interest of building intellectual capacity for National development which is sacrosanct to the future of our country reopen negotiation with Government and reopen the classrooms without further delay.

tunapa2009: Hmmmmm. Wonders shall never end.. Did you listen to him yesterday on ASUU strike? It was a tsunami!!!! It was very clear that he isn't fighting for students' interest at all. ^^^ Mustay: NANS has been apolitical for some time - in the past, NANS and ASUU had a cordial relationship until they became politicized. All the same, I still see the OP's post as one-sided. It's normal for FG to feed us with 'stories' for public empathy however, methinks ASUU ain't stupid. The money they're demanding for has accumulated over the years and need we be reminded that this agreement is due for revision this year. Since 2001, the democratic governments seem to be aping after the military guys in terms of agreements. We don't need a media parley for this stuff. In 2007:
^^^This thing is a recurring decimal. Government has been highly insensitive which also raises the question - why did this government embark on creating more universities when it has not yet managed the existing ones Isn't that illogical When it comes to responding to militants and carnivals, Nigeria always has the money but when it comes to investing in her people, na so so talk from today till tomorrow.

If truly yinka gbadebo was not hiding something, he should have pubilicise this since it started. Nigerian students would have been aware already. It surely seems that he also was playing with the politicians and ASUU. Imagine u met with Gov. Suswam and prof. Isa Fagae didn't bother to reply ur letter and u kept mute all these while, I can't believe that gbadebo too doesn't have something he was hiding. #myopinion 2 Likes |

I read with pity this long rubbish (yes, i mean RUBBISH) by the NANS president. Apart from the lack of intellectual fibre in the press release, it is all too evident that the Nigerian canker worm of CORRUPTION has eaten really deep into what ought to be the mega voice of all students in the country. From day 1 of this intractable ASUU strike, the body language of NANS has been towards offering support for the federal government. ....... The only language our dumb leaders understand is CIVIL DISOBEDIENCE. If many university students participated in the fuel subsidy protests, why is it so difficult for them to organise mass rallies and protest this SATANIC closure of their universities? I AM NOT SAYING STUDENTS SHD TAKE TO VIOLENCE...Rather, civil disobedience is a democratic mechanism that citizens can employ to force govt to act. ........ Rather than do this,most students would rather talk about football, TV shows, music and other insignifcant things. If care is not taken, this strike will not end before Xmas. The time to act is NOW- Tell that NANS President that this is no time for long boring press statements. ****I remember the good old days...Not in the sense of treasuring the several years of ASUU strike- but in the sense of what we did to compell govt to act***** ****But again, if ASUU can still go on strike for months in Nigeria (under a civilian regime), what then is the difference between Nigeria of 1998 and Nigeria of 2013) ? 6 Likes |

Personally, i don't have any issue against Gbadebo, the guy has done some laudable things since he became the NANS president although spiced with foolish display at times. My problem is the body called NANS, the leaders over the time have brought her reputation into thick mud and dragged it in mockery. Political lords have used NANS for their selfish gains over time and has left deep cut that will only take time to heal. Perhaps after NANS is cleansed of her 'leprosy', then we will fight and reclaim our dignity, powess and say in this nation. As per the ASUU strike, i have said it; i am saying it; and i will continue to say it that both ASUU and the FG have their shortcomings in it. ASUU comprises of wicked group of selfish ill-beings that has never for once thought of the suffering grass in this battle courtesy of their controversial imbroglio. Not saving the FG too, how much is 87B to give the corrupt group compared to money lavished frivolously everyday?? Not even looking at the #fact that if you meet "all" the demands of ASUU today, that doesn't stop them for embarking on another useless strike come February 2014. Something keeps bothering me and kept me crying for our educational system in Nigeria, if ASUU can go this far (2 months old strike + and still counting) to primarily demand for just EARNED ALLOWANCES, i wonder what they will do if their basic salaries and basic allowances are not paid! God, we need you to intervene in our miserable case in Nigeria. #Forever a proud Nigerian! 1 Like |
