Labour Faults Moves To Cede Unity Schools To States by larushib: 3:58pm On Jul 09, 2015 |
ASSOCIATION of Senior Civil Servants of Nigeria, ASCSN, has advised Mr. President to reject alleged moves to transfer the 104 Federal Unity Colleges (FUCs) to the state governments, following perceived subtle campaigns by hired analysts. In a statement in Lagos, the ASCSN National President, Comrade Bobboi Bala Kaigama and the Secretary-General, Comrade Alade Bashir Lawal, emphasized that those pushing the President to embark on such negative action wanted him to enter into a collision course with millions of Nigerians who voted him into office, arguing that “They would come in different guise and Mr. President has to watch out for them. The Union is worried that now that we have a new government in place, some Nigerians under the guise of discussing the issue of devolution of power in the country are clamouring for the transfer of Unity Colleges to state governments. “The question to ask is, what has devolution of power got to do with ownership of Unity Colleges when Education is in the Concurrent List of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria? “What manner of country do we want to run when we engage in the habit of approbating and reprobating on sensitive national issues? Moving forward and backward will not help anybody. Let us take all our institutions as given and service them on a regular basis for the benefit of mankind. You build toll gate today, demolish them tomorrow only for you to come back later and start toying with the idea of rebuilding them. We need to get serious for once and move the country forward. The idea of selling our national assets and heritage is only being driven by selfish motive and interest. It is not the way to go.” ASCSN recalled that when in 2005, government tried to auction the schools to its cronies, millions of Nigerians overwhelmingly opposed the move while ASCSN carried out 7-week strike throughout the Federation to forestall the plan. “Besides, how can anyone in his or her right senses be advising the Federal Government to hand over the 104 Federal Unity Colleges to state governments that cannot pay salaries to their workers and whose primary and secondary schools are in shamble?” the union wondered. The union pointed out that the first Prime Minister of Nigeria, Alhaji Tawafa Balewa, in 1966 established the first three Unity Schools in Sokoto in Northern region, Warri in Western region, and Okposi in Eastern region as centres for nurturing national unity because the existing political parties then used tribes and religions to divide Nigerians. source: http://www.vanguardngr.com/2015/07/labour-faults-moves-to-cede-unity-schools-to-states/#sthash.uQiXoaZl.dpuf 4 Likes |

the problem is not to stop the seceding of those schools but how to manage the schools because most states are not serious in terms of education 1 Like |

We can only begin to get serious about this issue when private investors take them over. The work ethics of government establishments doesn't produce best results in Nigeria. State governments are even more irresponsible. Let these schools be run by private organisations. Let the management of corona or BIS take over kings college... These ones have results to show. 1 Like |

Thus will be an irresponsible move should President buhari consent to it. Avoiding the responsibilities of demonstration schools owned by universities nationwide is just enough. These states can't even run primary schools properly, everyday we see pictures of dilapidated school buildings. All those pushing for this should be sent to ISIS prisons. 4 Likes 1 Share |

ceding of the unity schools to state governments will be a bad move, in that the state governments are worst managers of anything, and the whole essence of their establishment will have been defeated. let us not forget how ethnocentric our state governors can be. 1 Like |

I can imagine the northern schools handed over to abokis. They will so simply run it aground. They will also be the ones to open the gates when Boko Haram comes visiting. E.g. Chibok 1 Like |
