greatgod2012: But why don't we love ourselves sef?
The FG don't want to shift ground and the ASUU too will not consider the students that are forced to stay and waste away at home, and at the end of the day, its Nigeria that is the ultimate loser/sufferer, because its the future leaders' lives that we are talking about here.

stillwater: It's really hard to have sympathy on ASUU.

99/100:
What is there to escalate that ASUU has not escalated already?
I stand for No work no pay.Or better still mass sacking of some lecturers so as to sanitize d university system.

Olumidzti: how many days do your senators sit per week? & how much do they get?

cjrane: [size=15pt]No work, No Pay is the best thing ever implemented in the strikes especially in the basterdized educational sector.

From the mid 1980s lecturers have become very lazy,most cannot even teach continuously for one year because they have become accustomed to always going on long strikes for 6 months or more, knowing the Government will pay them for the time they spent traveling and fooling around the world instead of teaching the students.

For once, lets be serious as a country and pay for only the time the lecturers are doing what they are being paid for.[/size]

They would be paid in arrears after the strike

engrfcuksmtin: Am suprised @ the opinion of some posters in this thread on the no work no pay issue. Majority of us disagree with the policy of FG for withdrawing relief from from Biafara during the war? The policy is as good as good as the biafara/fg issue. Why should the govt go into an agreement that they view as not feasible? The argument that it was made by the previous administration does not hold water because if the present government can inherit foreign reserves from previous administration they shiuld be able to implement agreement reached by the the previous admistration. Looking at the agreement only 21% is for allowances which will be enjoyed by both. academic and non academic staff (most universities has paid non academic staff their share of the 30billion sent to them but rejected theirs on moral grounds). The argument of moral decadence among lecturers is not far from the truth (a common phenomenon in every sector of our dear country) but the fact remains that Universities in Nigeria are poorly funded and there is need for rescue. If ASUU considers the student that are at home currently how about the future students? What will they meet? Considering what is on ground presently......God save Nigeria

Midax & Phoenix:
The rate of ignorance peddled on this forum is alarming!!

Gone were the days when posters outwit each other with facts and not hearsay, make-belief etc

Do you have access to the employment contract of an academic staff?

Have you seen or read through the 2009 agreement?

You have to get all the angles to make informed contributions and not rants laden with youthful exuberance and indolence!!

Even if they don't teach for ten years, the government will have to pay them!!
The employment contract entails them to do research and academics and they are on academic strike or have you seen any university under locks and keys!

Yes, the industrial action is affecting the students and not good for all concerned but the fault lies with the government and not ASUU!

And if you think otherwise, let's discuss facts .

vivacious vivi: I am with ASUU on this 100%. Agreed, its quite unfortunate that students would suffer but nothing good comes easy. I have had it up to here with excuses made by successive govts on why certain agreements made with ASUU can not be honored. Its a gross injustice! At the end of the day, these same members of the so called Elite government will be earning unknown sums of money as "salaries", gettiung huge benefits and housing allowances, buying bullet-proof amoured vehicles worth millions of Naira (that is the vices that we end up finding about o), vacations abroad with 50 team delegations and mansions in various parts of the world. ASUU should NOT shift ground.
The FG has showed us just how callous they are by trying to threaten ASUU with this "No work No Pay" Policy. They are shameless money-grabbing barbarians!

Chanchit: Sharrrap..! It seems this guys are trying to scare d government, if you dnt work, you should no be paid.
