ASUU STRIKE Update: Lecturers give FG fresh prerequisites to end STRIKE

REPORT ACCORDING TO PUNCH NEWSPAPER


ASUU President, Faggae

The Academic Staff Union of Universities has said it will not suspend its ongoing strike until the four months salaries owed its members are paid.
The union also wants the immediate implementation of the N1.2tn offer by the Federal Government to public universities, starting with the release of N100bn this year. The balance of N1.1tn is to be spread over five years from 2014.

These were some of the resolutions reached by members of the National Executive Council of the union who converged on Kano on Friday to deliberate on whether to call off the over four- month-old industrial action or not.

A source, who was privy to the resolutions reached during the President Goodluck Jonathan – ASUU leadership meeting three weeks ago, told The PUNCH on Sunday, that the fresh demands were some of the issues to be tabled before Jonathan by the leadership during their next meeting. A date for the meeting is yet to be fixed.

According to the source, a strong commitment to two demands, among other pending issues, must be obtained from the President before the industrial action will be called off by the union.

He said, “The issue now is on trust and we do not want a situation where promises will not be kept. The authorities have failed us in the past and we do not want a repeat of that.

”That was why we decided at the NEC meeting that the government should pay us the arrears of salaries being owed us since we started the strike on July1 before the strike can be called off. The salaries should not be paid piecemeal.

“We also insist that the Federal Government should start the implementation of the offer made to us when we met the President some weeks ago.

“For instance, the N100bn he (Jonathan) agreed to inject into the university system in 2013 should be released to the universities immediately. So, we decided that before the strike could be called off, these two conditions and others must be met not by promises but by real action.”

The NEC members, who met behind closed doors at the Bayero University, Kano, were said to have reviewed the reports of the various university congresses on the strike.

Our source, who did not want his name in print, added that the death of a former National President of ASUU, Prof. Festus Iyayi, was discussed at the NEC meeting.

Iyayi, a University of Benin lecturer, died in an auto accident involving the convoy of the Kogi State Governor, Idris Wada and an ASUU vehicle, on his way to Kano for the meeting.The union’s National Welfare Officer, Dr. Ngozi Ilo, was injured.

Our source said the accident “almost led to the discontinuation of the ongoing negotiation with the Federal Government.

He added, “Some members expressed the belief that he (Iyayi) was killed by the government and therefore argued that the ongoing negotiation should be called off. Tempers rose but some members argued that the President should be respected because he had created the record of being the first Nigerian leader to meet with the leadership of ASUU on the issue of making the nation’s university system better. They also argued that students and parents should be considered.”

It was also learnt that after arguments for and against, about 60 per cent of the members of the NEC voted in favour of the discontinuation of the strike while the remaining 40 per cent voted no.

But it was gathered that the NEC members unanimously agreed that before the strike could be called off, the leadership should ask the government to pay the four-month salary arrears being owed university teachers while the offer made by the government should be implemented immediately.

A key component of the agreement reached by both ASUU and the Federal Government when the President led the government team was that government would inject N1.2tn into public universities.

The government also agreed that the N1.2tn would be domiciled at the Central Bank of Nigeria to show its commitment to the agreement.

The money is expected to be released on quarterly basis to the universities so that there won’t be any problem about implementing the deal.

The National Universities Commission and the Trade Union Congress will be the joint guarantors of the agreement while the Minister of Education will be the implementing officer. The government also agreed to revamp public universities by ensuring that all the issues that always lead to strike were dealt with once and for all.

A majority of the chapters of the union had agreed to the suspension of the strike following the fresh commitment the leadership of ASUU obtained from the government.

ASUU National President, Dr. Nassir Fagge, did not pick the several calls made to his telephone line by one of our correspondents on Sunday to confirm the fresh demands.

The University of Lagos chapter ASUU Chairman, Dr. Karo Ogbinaka, and his counterpart in the Lagos State University, Dr. Adekunle Idris, also refused to divulge information on the outcome of the NEC meeting.

ASUU had embarked on the strike to protest against the failure of the government to implement the agreement they signed in 2009.

The pact largely centered on better funding of the universities, a declaration of a state of emergency in tertiary education, better wages and payment of earned allowances to lecturers.

It had suspended the NEC meeting penultimate week following Iyayi’s death.

Exactly my thoughts.

Now, they want salaries for work they did not do. So, what happens to the students that was forcefully removed from school?

I sorry for those people arguing that this whole episode is for the good of the students. I'm sure, their eyes are opening now that ASUU
don't give a mess about the students. If they really want this strike off, they should call it off and forfeit their salaries for the time
they didn't work. But, greed will not allow them.

If FG eventually pays them the salaries, it means the whole price of the strike rests squarely on the students. The students are the
victims here. Their time and plans was used to bargain for ASUU selfishness.

I agree with you. They need two bullets each.

[quote author=okelarine]No salary arrears, no resumption ASUU

According to reports from the Nigerian Eye,
Nigerian university lecturers have agreed to end
the five-month old strike, if the federal
government says yes to three of it conditions.
These conditions will be made known to President
Goodluck Jonathan today and if all parties come
to agreement, the strike will be called off.
ASUU has forbidden its local chapters and zonal
chairman from talking to the media, until the end
of the session. But a source, who was part of the
ASUU session, which was held at Mambayya
House in Kano, revealed the conditions as:
•Commitment from the President that any review
or reconsideration or renegotiation of the 2009
Agreement will not substantially affect the pact
which is the cause of the ongoing strike;
•Immediate payment of all outstanding salary
arrears and allowances of varsity teachers
without victimization; and
•A written commitment from the President that
the Federal Government will commit N225billion
annually to the funding of universities for the next
four years.
There is a fourth condition, which is said to be
“personal” to ASUU.
The source said: “Our leaders are meeting with
the President on Monday to table these
conditions. Once the President accepts these
three terms, the strike will be called off.
“In principle, members voted about 60-40 per cent
to call off the strike, but they added a caveat –
that ASUU leaders should extract a commitment
(signed and sealed) from the President.”
It became imperative for ASUU to makes these
demands, as it became obvious that the FG
wanted the 2009 Agreement to be renegotiated.
“If ASUU had accepted to renegotiate the entire
Agreement , it means there will be no basis for
the ongoing strike. The worst that can happen is
either having the abridged version of the 2009
Agreement or a phased implementation of the
document,” the source added.


http://dailypost.com.ng/2013/11/25/ASUU-agrees-suspend-strike-states-three-conditions/

why is it that thses useless guys(ASUU) do things like they have no sense

so they stayed home for 5 months and they are expecting salary..

then the students that stayed home for 5 months shoul expect what?

an academic session in 4 months with no holiday?

all in the name of closing up the calender...

may GOD pay them with what is equal to the pain they ve caused to both parents and students

and the restless nights they will cause for us students...

and then the useless idiots will come to class and insult us for no reason..

while they are the ones teaching us...

So now the strike won't be called off anytime soon then..?

wait i don't understand... so what are they gonna use the 100billion naira for?

to buy cars for themselves bah cos i am sure there is nothing left in this year again...

they think they are the only ones in this country bah...?

In Nigeria,if any sector goes on strike,they wil stl receive their salaries afta d strike.If u al cld rememba,wen GEJ stopped payin their salaries mnths bk.The lectures said:He was keepin their salaries 4 them cos they knw he wld stll pay them.
