There are indications that the hierarchy of the Academic
Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) is waiting for the
presentation of the 2014 budget by President Goodluch
Jonathan before they take a decision on their protracted
strike action, BusinessDay investigations have revealed.
Some members of the union suggest that the union is
waiting to see the direction of the budget as regards
ASUU’s demands.
Inside sources who spoke to BusinessDay on condition of
anonymity believe that the strike would be called off once
their demands are reflected in the budget expected to be
presented to the National Assembly by the President soon.
“Once the next budget contains a section that addresses our
demands, ASUU members would have no option than to
go back to classes” said one of the striking lecturers.
BusinessDay investigations indicate that the perceived rank
breaking move by the Federal Government on ASUU have
not achieved the desired result.
Analysts and education watchers assessing the situation,
express misgivings about the current situation, observing
that even if the hierarchy of ASUU decides to end the over
five months-old strike, no meaningful academic work
would be achieved by students or their lecturers, with
barely two weeks to Christmas.
They maintained that the five months wasted as a result of
the strike have already altered the academic calendar and
that it would take at least two weeks for academic functions
to normalise.
BusinessDay checks across that various campuses reveal
that some universities including the University of Nigeria
Nsukka, University of Jos, Enugu State University of
Science and Technology (ESUT) Federal University of
Technology Owerri, among others, have resumed, in line
with the directive but with little or no academic activities
visible.
At the University of Nsukka, the ASUU members refused
to return to class and the students have not fully returned to
campus, on account of the absence of the lectures while the
Federal University of Technology, Owerri chapter of
ASUU told the students to disregard the resumption notice
by the school management, stating that its members would
not go back the classrooms until their agreement with the
Federal Government is met.
ASUU StrikeMembers of Academic Staff Union of
Universities (ASUU) under Ibadan Zone which include
FUNAAB, OAU, UI, UNILAG, LASU, TASUED, OOU
defied Federal Government’s resumption deadlines which
entered into it second day, upholding ASUU’s decision not
to resume with 100 percent compliance.
Visits by our correspondents to most of the universities
under Ibadan Zone of the union showed that none of
ASUU’s members resumed to work as being ordered by
the Federal Government through the National Universities
Commission (NUC), just as lecture theatres, libraries and
campuses generally were deserted, except some cleaners
and security men seen observing menial works.
BusinessDay gathered that Senate meeting called by
management of the Federal University of Agriculture,
Abeokuta (FUNAAB) was not attended by any lecturers
under the ASUU, just as our correspondent reports that
lecturers under the zone expressed readiness to bear any
consequences that might come up as a result of the action
and inaction.
Giving the situation report, Biodun Badmus, the FUNAAB
ASUU Chairman, who spoke with the media in Abeokuta,
affirmed that the strike would continue, as long as the
Federal Government did not fulfil its pledges to the ASUU,
saying the university lecturers would continue to comply
with the ASUU’s directives 100 percent.
“Even the Senate meeting called on Thursday was not
attended by any lecturers, we are told anybody that cares to
listen that lecturers will observe 100 percent compliance
with ASUU’s directives”, Badmus added.
The University of Ibadan chapter of the Academic Staff
Union of Universities (ASUU) on Monday defied the
Federal Government’s directive to resume or get fired by
Tuesday.
The university had in a release had asked students to return
to campuses on January 4, 2014.
But University of Ibadan ASUU sent a message to its
members saying “Dear member, stay calm and remain
resolute. There is nothing wrong in asking government to
do what it says it will do immediately”.
Speaking on the strike, National Treasurer of ASUU,
Ademola Aremu said academic staff cannot be humiliated
by government.
The ASUU boss said there is nothing yet to show for the
five month old strike if the union returns back to the
classroom without documenting and getting the funds it
asked for public universities from the federal government.
Aremu who noted that the strike was still fully on course
nationwide stated that Information Minister Labaran Maku
lied that it has released N45billion to schools as Earned
Allowances.
He said that the federal governments should document its
claim that it has deposited N200billion in the Central Bank
of Nigeria in a letter and communicate with the union,
rather engaging in media propaganda.

All contending issues with ASUU resolved- Wike
The Supervising Minister of Education, Nyesom Wike has disclosed that all contending issues between the Academic Staff Union of Universities and the Federal Government have been resolved.

He made the disclosure in a statement following his meeting with the leadership of the union on Wednesday.

He also lauded the patriotism and strong will demonstrated by members of the union to uplift the standard of education in the country.

The minister, who had earlier threaten members of the union with sack following their refusal to call off the over five months old strike in the country’s universities, stressed that ASUU want the best for the country.

According to him, “I am very pleased to announce that all contending issues between ASUU and the Federal Government have been resolved to the satisfaction of the parties. Let me emphasize that we recognize and appreciate ASUU’s patriotic role and commitment towards ensuring that our Universities are well-funded, resourced and run like their counterpart in other parts of the world. Thus, we are all partners in progress and there is no victor; no vanquished in the struggle of this nature for as long as our goals remain noble, not actuated by parochial interests, and targeted at moving our nation forward”.

He also assured that the Jonathan’s administration is serious about revitalizing all universities and will continue to fund them as a matter of priority.
