ASUU-Always Striking Union of Universities.ASUU-Association to Suffer University Undergraduates

If ASUU can call off its strike today, it'll be the best thing that has happened to me this year. #i want good news#

Confusion is currently brewing in some universities as the
authorities and students are to resume for lectures despite the
ongoing strike by the Academic Staff Union of Universities
(ASUU), well in its over four months.
Indeed, moves to end the strike, which began on July 2, 2013,
had reached a peak with the negotiations between President
Goodluck Jonathan and ASUU team, which included the
Nigerian Labour Congress (NLC) President, Abdulwaheed
Omar, and his Trade Union Congress (TUC) counterpart, Bala
Kaigama, besides the current ASUU President, Nasir Fagge,
and other past presidents of the union, but the death of
Professor Festus Iyayi, a past leader of the union, stalled the
ASUU National Executive Council meeting scheduled for
Kano where the decision to end the strike would have been
taken.
Amid the confusion, however, many university authorities and
students are pushing for the reopening of their institutions in
defiance to the ASUU position that the strike is still in force.
Specifically, some academic staff at the Niger State-owned
Ibrahim Badamasi Babangida University, Lapai (IBBUL),
have commenced teaching.
This has caused some rancour among ASUU as some lecturers
and students have returned to the classrooms since Monday
following the re-opening of the institution by the
management.
But the branch ASUU Chairman, Dr. Aliyu Badeggi, insisted
that the strike was still in force in the institution.
Investigations by Daily Newswatch showed that lectures have
resumed only in three departments – English and Linguistics,
Mathematics and Physics, while Mass Communication,
Business Administration and other Sciences were yet to
resume lectures.
The Vice Chancellor, Professor Ibrahim Kolo, had last Friday
directed students to resume lectures on Monday, after an
emergency Senate meeting approved the re-opening of the
institution.
The development has now put students in dilemma as
majority of the students compiled with the directive, while
some were yet to resume because of the stalemate.
It was also gathered that some of the students that returned
were yet to have any lecture, as most lecturers are still
complying with the ASUU strike.
When Daily Newswatch visited the institution yesterday,
some students were seen loitering in the campus for lack of
what to do.
The students revealed that those who are currently having
lectures were for General Studies’ courses and not the core
courses, stressing that majority of the lecturers were still on
strike.
Abubakar Nda-Patigi, a 300 level Mass Communication
student, complained that lectures were yet to commence in his
department. “We were elated when the school management
re-opened the school, but we have not done anything since
Monday that we resumed in my department.”
A lecturer, who spoke in confidence, blamed the crack among
the members of ASUU of the institution on some few
lecturers that were cajoled by the management, insisting that
the strike was still in force.
“We are aware of the management moves to break our ranks.
Even if we are only 10 lecturers that remain, we shall stand by
the union,” he said.
However, the strike has taken another twist at the Adekunle
Ajasin University, Akungba Akoko, Ondo State, as ASUU
said it was ready to slug it out with the school authorities over
the resumption order.
The AAUA management, in a statement issued by the
Registrar of the institution, Mr Bamidele Olotu, announced
that the school will resume for Second Semester of 2012/2013
Session on Monday, November 25, 2013, while lectures are to
start on Monday, December 2, 2013.
The memo implies that the lecturers and the students of the
institution must resume for academic activities by the
stipulated date.
However, the ASUU urged the students and lecturers to
ignore the order, saying the lecturers would not resume until
the national body of the union gave the resumption order.
According to a statement issued and signed by the Chairman
of the AAUA branch of the ASUU, Dr. Busuyi Mekusi,
yesterday, members of the union were asked to disregard the
resumption order.
The statement said as far AAUA branch of the ASUU was
concerned, the status quo remained until they receive a new
directive from the national body of the union.
“The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU),
Adekunle Ajasin University, Akungba -Akoko branch, wishes
to dissociate itself from the purported resumption of academic
activities in the university, as its members are still part of the
ongoing national strike by the union.
“Members should, therefore, disregard any pull to abandon
the struggle, and be steadfast until the present position is
reviewed by NEC,” Mekusi said.
The union also declared that it would “resist every tyrannical
propensity” to intimidate and harass its members by the
institution authority.
But Governor Emmanuel Uduaghan of Delta State yesterday
called on players in the education sector, including the Federal
Government and striking lecturers to rededicate themselves to
the pursuit of excellence at the tertiary level in honour of the
former President of ASUU, Professor Festus Iyayi.
The governor, in a statement by Felix Ofou, his press
secretary, said the highest honour that the late Iyayi deserved
was the return to the pursuit of academic excellence in the
universities and other higher institutions, arguing that
anything short of this would have meant that the late activist
died in vain.
Uduaghan recalled the heroic struggle and sacrifice of the late
professor and author for the working class as well as the
university system, adding that the history of strikes and strive
for higher academic goals in the country cannot be complete
without glowing references to the part played by the deceased.
The governor, an alumnus of the University of Benin, paid
glowing tributes to his alma mater for providing a place of
pride for the renowned poet, author and academic colossus
who engineered new heights and defined the intellectual and
working class struggle in a manner never experienced before
his time.
He commiserated with the family of the deceased, UNIBEN,
the people of Edo State, ASUU, the academic community and
the nation at large on the painful loss and asked God to grant
them the fortitude to bear the untimely passage of such a
titanic labour leader.

Schools resume in January. Just 3 working weeks are left in this year before the Xmas/New year break. Before students can arrange transport money this period that money is scarce and reach school, 2 weeks would've gone. School activities will resume properly in January, but the strike will be called off before the end of the year

lol, political platform isn't 100% reliable. 3 months ago, they said the strike was called off- false alarm. Raypower news didn't mention it, neither did AIT. Until EVERY news station announces the strike has been called off, don't hold your breath

safarigirl: Schools resume in January. Just 3 working weeks are left in this year before the Xmas/New year break.

My thought also

Ok o

*Although,if its called off this year,i will be the happiest of all*

SMHFT for frustrating all public university students.

GOD BLESS NIGERIA!

lol, my school hasn't even done first semester exam yet. The truth is, there is NO money now, students come from families, there could be 3 undergraduates in that family, they'll need transport to go to school and pocket money of 5-10k to go by(plus hand-outs and whatever else they make you pay for), where will that money come from? November salary has been paid, budgeted for and is already being spent. So except you wan make hunger use you do example, you're an only child or your papa get money, your own school dey start January. FACT.

Fynestboi: ASUU, Ondo varsity on collision course over resumption order



AKURE — THE striking members of the Academic Staff Union of Universities, ASUU, Adekunle Ajasin University, Akungba-Akoko chapter, Ondo State and the university authorities are on a collision course over a directive that the students should resume for lectures.

Gates to the nation’s public universities have been shut in the last 144 days due to trade dispute between ASUU and the Federal Government
Registrar of the state-owned university, R. B. Olotu in a statement in Akure directed the students to resume on Monday, November 25 for the second semester 2012/2013 session.

But in a swift reaction, the ASUU Chapter of the university dissociated itself from the purported resumption of academic activities in the university.
The Chapter’s chairperson, Busuyi Mekusi in a statement asked members to disregard the directive.

Mekusi said: “ASUU Adekunle Ajasin University, Akungba Akoko Branch, wishes to dissociate itself from the purported resumption of academic activities in the university, as its members are still part of the ongoing national strike by the union.

“Members should, therefore, disregard any pull to abandon the struggle, and be steadfast until the present position is reviewed by NEC.


“ The union also wants to make it abundantly clear that it would resist every tyrannical propensity to intimidate and harass its members.”


The Registrar in his statement entitled: ‘Resumption for the 2nd semester 2012/2013 session’ directed all the students of university to resume.


“All the students of Adekunle Ajasin University, Akungba Akoko, Ondo State, are hereby informed that academic activities of the second semester of 2012/2013 session truncated as a result of the ASUU national strike are to resume on Monday, 25th November, 2013 with the continuation of registration on the University portal ( http://portal.aaua.edu.ng).
“Lectures are to start on Monday, 2nd December, 2013


It will be recalled that the Vice Chancellor of the University Prof. Femi Mimiko had about a month ago expressed worries over the continued closure of the university by Ondo State.

Prof. Mimiko threatened that he would recall the students if the four month old strike action was not suspended.
