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 .

I am ready to challenge ASUU to a debate, d government as corrupt as it is have shifted ground, what the hell is ASUU fighting for? let's say our lecturers aren't qualified enough, y don't they overhaul themselves if they are truly fighting for d system? OK. they want over 3 trillion naira? how much is the overall budget of the country? do u know how many years Nigeria has been running on budget deficit? common!! think... so after providing the funds Nigerian universities will automatically become world class? is ur Aristo Dad a. lecturer?

Youngzedd: Asaba – The DeltaStateUniversity Chapterof the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) on Wednesday warned that implementing the No-Work-No-Pay policy would worsenthe industrial crisis in public universities.
The Chairman ofthe chapter, DrEmmanuel Mordi, said in Asaba that the stategovernment was planning to implement thepolicy for the first time.
NAN reports that the stateGovernor, Dr Emmanuel Uduaghan, had urged ASUU membersto return to classroom or face implementation ofthe policy.
“When the strike is called off, lecturers will say: `No pay, no work’. It does not help anybody; it can only escalate thecrisis.
“It is unfortunate that ASUU is at the receiving end, as the government, being stronger, has the power towithhold ASUUmembers’ salaries, he said.
He said that ASUU was willing to call off the strike and would do so as soon as theFederal Governmentshowedmore commitment.
“We are anxious tocall off the strike, but the governmentsaid we should wait for somany months.
“What we must note is that our studentsare also our children. Some lecturersare also students;so, this is a very painful surgical operation, which we have to carry out in the bestinterestofour futuregeneration.”
Also theAdamawa chapter of theChristian Association of Nigeria (CAN) on Wednesday said thelingering strike by university teachers in the country could destroythe nation’s tertiary education.
The Chairman ofthe association, Rev. Moses Taparki, in an interview in Yola, expressed displeasure over the inability of theFederal Governmentand theAcademic StaffUnion of Universities (ASUU) toresolve the issues.
Describing the situation as “unfortunate”, he said it had lingered in spite of appeals and interventions by groups and individuals, and blamed the governmentand the union for their seeming “insensitivity” to theissue.
The cleric said the damage thestrike had done to the university systemin thecountry in the past fourmonths would take several years to redress.
“The governmentand ASUUshould take responsibility for the sad development. Many groups and individuals, including religious leaders and traditional rulers, have appealed to them but all have been in vain,” hesaid.
“For the rigid positions thegovernmentand the university teachershave maintained on the matter, I maintain that both partiesmust take full responsibility for thedamage the strike has done to thesystem,” he stressed.

I hear your point and it hold No water. Ask your self why an oil rich nation of ours has been running on a budget deficit from time immemorial. Our expenses will always be more than an income because all the FG and previous govts do is spend spend spend on various sectors that are not growth-enhancing. Half which either end up and abandoned projects, misappropriated funds or misplaced priorites -a la the case of the agricultural sector for decades.
And FYI, ma Dad is late. Ijit!

wasak:
now Nigeria is oil rich... agreed.
there's gross misappropriation of funds. agreed.
let's take a Look at it this way,y not protest against corruption since obviously it's d bane of our development. if u schooled in Nigeria @ all u should know that even our. lecturers aren't innocent of corruption... if they want jumbo pay. it's as simple as resigning, getting a form for any political office and whatever...
If we wanna fight corruption let's fight it... if we wanna earn more money we need not camouflage under the auspices of fighting for the students....
lastly, I ain't referring to ur dad,I'm sorry if u feel offended. Thanks.

Promhize:

Was going to call u a fool but... Do two wrongs make a right? U must be a lecturer, cos I can't believe someone is still supporting these idiots after 4months!

vivacious vivi:

Apology accepted. Sorry I called you an Ijit.
And I still diagree with you. What they are protesting for isnt a jumbo pay.
I was bought up by a single mom who retired as a school teacher. I know what my siblings and I went through before my mom's fortunes turned around later. I remember the strike actions imposed by school teachers while I was a kid in the 1990s. The FG also tried at the time to threaten them with this over-used and backward policy. Its every worker's right to ask for better pay (at justified intervals), better working conditions and generally improved living standards for themselves and their families.
And resigning and vying for political office isn't "simple" my friend.
Can the FG afford the money? yes. maybe it should be paid in phases.
But to keep treating human beings like cows and chickens is so wrong in a country where there is sufficient resources for all to live and work rather comfortably.

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.
