You must have heard lately that UNILAG management wanted to conduct exams for her students amidst the ASUU strike.

The action of the VC to defy the ASUU strike and go ahead to conduct the exam took another dimension when the member of ASUU UNILAG and the Non-Academic Staff went on rampage insisting that no exam will be conducted.  The students  the students were chased from their hostels and and the VC had to run for his dear life. God have mercy.

Nairalanders what's your reaction to this? Any party to be applauded or blamed? Lend your voice.

I blame the vc for such a stupid act he should talk to his colleagues at the national level of ASUU to call off the strike instead of trying to show hes a wise ass superstar

like play like play our schools no go open this year if time is not taken. cause the new diversionary tactic is failed banks thats what everybody is concentrating on now.

What is his interest ? Saboteur

Thats wat happen when we do not put our heads together to fight and achieve our aim, even if we put our heads together there will always be a judas. Good for him.

The Federal Government does not care how long the students spend at home.
Nigerian students should shape their future for themselves,
They have 5 days before the all important Nigeria - Tunisia match,  they could start by embarrassing the Federal Government by stopping that match

why cant all ASUU members speak in one voice.

Honestly, federal govt is to be blamed on this matter. The fight which ASUU is fighting for is the aggreement reached by the fed. govt with ASUU years back and it is better done now or never. Although been a student, its affecting me but for the sake of our tomorrow I support the ASUU.

University students should find menial jobs to do cos the useless govt and useless ASUU will not reach any agreement anytime soon

Both of them are to be blamed especially the govt who have failed their own people. Even ASUU themselves have disappointed our students and nigerians as a whole by this kind of useless act they have commited. Instead of them to settle down and plan how they are going to move things forward, they are here wasting their precious time, chasing the students and the VC himself. It's now left for the students and the nigerian citizens to stand up and fight for their own right in this country.

The best solution to the whole problem is to go on a Nationwide Protest, if nothing happens, maybe during the coming under17 world championship, we should protest so te everybody in this world go sabi wetin deh happen for this doomed nation.

The Fed.Government should answer these pple with a strong sense of guilt,ingnominy or disgrace.They are ready for the show down!

VC's meeting with Deans and Provost His words: “These are difficult times that require ingenuity; the government alone cannot fund tertiary education. It is crucial to advance new strategies to look inwards in generating funds. No internationally acclaimed varsity relies on government for financial support and the case of UNILAG should not be different. For quite some time now, we have been pursuing ways of improving our internally generated funds and these require the commitment and support of every member of the University community.”

What else do you think he want other than for we poor masses to leave school. God help us,

This is good talk, very good talk. If we dont make the sacrifice of staying at home now for maybe 3 months, 6 months or even more, these issues will forever remain with us. The future generations will hold us accountable if after the older generation is gone and yet we dont have good teachers, educational infrasture is not in place. ASUU is fighting a just cause and student who are directly affected should support them. We need our lecture halls to be better, our lecturers well paid so they dont sleep with girls for marks or demand us to tip them before we can pass or purchase a handout and your name written on a list of automatic passers, and unless such measures are taken we can never reached there. Let Sam Egwu not use students to create pity when the Nigerian Government has refused to address the main issue.
The situation: Nigeria's Education is nothing to write home about : what needs to be done: There need to be a positive change in the sector. When should this be done: NOW is the time. Our NANS should not be calling on ASUU to call of strike but on Government to address the issues ASUU has brought out. Thank you babaijo for speaking well.

this na good talk bro.

Now is the time to make things straight in our tertiary institutions.let suport ASUU in this strugle, ASUU's strugle is the strugle of all.It is high time we improved our educational sector-universities.
NANS excos are just big for nothing figure head.Me thought by now protests & demonstrations would av been conducted in major cities especialy Abuja.I'm nt surprised,since they are asisted to get to those positions by govt. & their allies.ALUTA CONTINUA:VICTORIA ACERTA

i think it's high time NANS and all students put on their thinking cap and see who will feel the spill over effect of this so-call ASUU strike because the truth of the matter is that they are arguing their points at the expense of who,

Fedral governmet believes that Nigerian students' educationis not complete until interrupted

well, my school lautech conducted its post ume amidst the strike and their was no opposition from ASUU or any body.

THE VC DON CHOP BRIBE,BEDS OF THE SAME FEATHER.
PROBABLY ALL THE CHILDREN ARE IN OVERSEES UNIVERSITY.

The problem with NANS these days is that they have been bought over by money. Was it not the same NANS that gave Prof Iwu an award some months back?

Money can do a lot of things.lol

That's the right thing. D VC sholud not av gone ahead conducting exam for the student because ASUU strike is a course for all states and federal universities and why has he chosen to back out ironically.D course for the strike has to be championed home, Let's av one voice, it will help us

I wuld have strongly supported an earlier post about Protesting against the up coming match against Tunis at Abuja bur that's rather near imposibility.

Students should protest in the next Nigeria - Tunis match because U17 is just too far and besides that one no longer means anything to us due to the MRI scandal.

Menial jobs hardly require interviews.

GREATEST NIGERIAN STUDENTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! it's time we realise if it is got to be it up to us!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm proud of the people who fought to stop the UNILAG exams from commencing. How can some people be continuing thier usual work when their colleagues are fightin a course to the benefit of everyone?

Hello All,

Let me ask you people this question: Do you people thinks that even if federal govts. increases ASUU salary by

100% then the nigerian university problem will be over.?

The problem is the University leadership, which ASUU suppose to be fighting. The money the govts releases to the

university what do they use it for. The award of contract in the university should be looked into by the ASSu, the

extortion by lecturer, the issue of emphasis on handout instead of books, population explosion and many other

problems.

It is very ubfortunate that lectures have turned to behaving like motor park touts. Why unleash terror on dear students and the poor VC?

may be this kind of strikes is no more new to the nigerian populace. i remember experiencing six months ASUU strike around 2002/2003 as a student. Prof Aborisade (edu minister) and Baba iyabo were at d helms of affairs then.

lets continue to pray that they will feel what d poor masses are feeling.
