And that's the harsh gospel truth.

Infact the BIG elephant in the room, in all of ASUU's disputes with the govt has been tuition fees. Both sides have tiptoed around the issue....refusing to face the reality that fees may have to go up....because it does not win votes, and it only makes you more unpopular. To say nothing of provoking student unrest (just a small raise in cafeteria prices led to riots in Nigerian universities in the late 1970's...the famous Ali must Go riots).

The earlier we embrace this fact the better

Government can't fund education. I hope people will be a little more open minded about this issue

some Nairalanders especially those from the south west are very mischievous, This agreement was signed for 1 trillion or so by GEJ, GEJ paid 250 billion, what was required was for the money to be paid in installments.

The united nations advised every country to make provisions of 25% of their budget to education, but because the Yorubas voted a man who had no waec, a man who sees the building of 16 alimajiri schools and federal universities in every state as "Nothing to show"; That same man budgeted a paltry 300 billion for education, his kitchen plus aso rock budget is higher than that amount.

ASUU is not asking for the 800 billion to be paid at once, at least put something tangible down, if 300 billion is paid and ASUU is still striking then we know they are wrong.

The 800 billion is not on salaries alone; hell salary sef is not up to 40% of that money..capital expenditure for infrastructure is what makes up the bulk of the cash, ASUU is fighting for our children. But u come on Nairaland and yab ASUU. God who sees all will surely punish you.

two years down the line Buhari has not made any tangible investment in education, a man that believes women shud be in the kitchen and other room Woe unto the south-west Nigeria, for u have made ur heart a dwelling place of maggots

you are a complete fool. Which yoruba are you speaking for? Who enter an agreement with ASUU and can't fulfill their promose. Buari government admitted that they inherited the agreement from the previous government and they can't run away from it, so tell me buari's fault.

GEJ who got deceived by ASUU to make an impossible promise to ASUU but ended up not fulfilling a single part of the promise despite the fact that his government earned over 5 times more than Buhari and also spent twice the time in Aso Rock than Buhari... GEJ is a saint whom you miss but you think Buhari who inherited the N850billion debt from GEJ and is struggling to clear it in this time of low finances is the cursed one in this matter?

Come on, government is a continuous institution. Why did Buhari inherited BVN STA and all the good economy policies of GEJ's administration.

ASSU must be paid by APC administration.

Anyway, congratulations to Buhari the president of APC and northerners Hausa Fulani 101 days in London.

Who did we offend abeg... What sort of hopeless aides did dis govt appoint? What is d business of d special assistant in making such categorical statement? Even if d demands cannot b met shld u com out and categorically say it?

Those of u blaming GEJ simply don't have sense. ASUU and their demands go as far back as OBJ's administration. GEJ inherited same, negotiated with dem and dey agreed on fresh terms. Dats what negotiation does. There has always been and there will always b strike actions but d most important thing is how d govt negotiates with dem. D govt doesn't have to meet their terms but simply agree on a new one with dem. Such statement only shows how insensitive some of these morons are.



Shehu gave an indication that the President Muhammadu Buhari’s government might not be able to meet the huge financial obligation the striking lecturers were demanding since the N850bn debt was more than the total allocation to the Ministry of Education in the 2017 Budget, which he put at N369bn.
Shehu said, “Governments enter into agreements that they can pay for. Ability to pay is a key requirement in going into agreements.


Our Aso clinic's budget is more than dat of our teaching hospitals combined but yet our President has spent more than 150days in total in London for medical treatment..

To be fair, in 2013....the money looked payable...until oil fell in 2014. That's where issues started.

The real thing is that fees have to go up....or we find N3 trillion now. Just for universites



1.You are a childish bigot.Sorry, but it is the truth.

[b]2.ASUU went on strike twice in GEJ's regime(2012, and 2013)...to get the govt to pay up the N3 trillion agreed in 2009 by Yaradua. GEJ's labour minister finally told them the truth during the second strike in 2013....that govt could not afford N3 trillion, and instead offered N1 trillion over 5 years....which they were able to pay N200bn before oil price falls made that impossible.
(Infact, just to show you how bad things were regarding financing....Governor Wike in 2013 when he was Minsiter of Educaiton signed an agreement with polytechinc lecturers to increase their salaries....an agreement all the parties were happy with. Only for the salaries and wages commision to look at the agreement and tell them that it was impossible to pay such salaries. Back in the good days of GEJ....)

3.At the moment, if we want universities to be adequately funded....we need N3 trillion naira at least. GEJ's last budget was N5 trillion in 2015. This govt is spending N8 trillion this year....much of which is borrowed. Would you agree they spend N5trillion just on universities without even spending on other sectors of education like primary, secondary, polys, colleges of education?

4.Fee rises are inevitable. Infact, fees rose under GEJ's regime in the wake of the new 2013 agreement ASUU signed with govt...simply because VC's realized that the extra money was never coming. And fees may have to go up[/b]

5.Seriously, give up your tribal bigotry. I myself have been deceived and tricked by people of all tribes, and have been helped and treated well by people of all tribes. Losing an election in 2015 is not the end of the world.

I called the person I called a bigot because of his comments about gambaris. You can critique people for not voting for GEJ without resorting to tribal bigotry.

Regarding the points you raised...yes...the govt is alleged to have spent 30million on presidential treatment ...ie 10,905,000,000 naira(10.9 billion naira).

That's a lot of money....but remember our universities need 800billion naira from the GEJ agreement (and keep in mind that I agreed with the fact that govt of GEJ did not have the means to meet ASUU's original demand of N3 trillion from the 2009 agreement.).

In brief....wasteful London spending otherwise....we need far more than what we are spending treating Bubu in London to adequately fund our universities.

According to the 2009 agreement...we need N1.5 trillion per annum to spend on universities. N10.9billion is a small drop compared to that.

I have no issue with GEJ supporters,or Bubu supporters...till they start using gross tribalistic language. Sorry...but that's not right.

When did you start reading news, that agreement was signed since 1999
Hmmm... 1999?... maybe you must be reading different news from everyone else. Cos the bone of contention today is from an agreement of 2009 which was re-negotiated with beautiful promises in 2013; and which the then govt never fulfilled.
http://www.vanguardngr.com/2017/08/breaking-ASUU-begins-indefinite-strike/

The fact of this case is clear to any sound and unbiased mind, the Nigerian government cannot fund education as it should. If the govt could not fulfil these financial obligations when it made far more money, I doubt it can meet up with the obligations now.

My previous comment by the way was in response to a deliberately mischievous and confused chap who labelled GEJ a saint and PMB a curse for being unable to magically clear the huge debts he inherited from GEJ.

Seems you misunderstood me....and for the record...I am apolitical. None of the governments in Nigeria past or present impress me economic wise.(Right now...I want a govt that would do the hard things needed to make us an exporter or manufactured goods...and this govt, or the previous ones ain't it.).

And the main thrust of my point IS that govt cannot fund universities adequately.

Now reread my posts with that in mind. And if you don't get it...sorry for you.

The excuse of where would they bring out the cash to pay the 800 billion plus debt arrears is simply flimsy and inexcusable. The over 30 million dollars and counting already alledgedly spent in the President's treatment was it captured in the budget?

Remain focused on the topic, we are talking of an ASUU debt of N850billion, an amount which was negotiated by GEJ but but which he failed to fulfil its payment.

Yes! govt is a continuum and the current government never mentioned anywhere that it isnt going to pay the debt. But no matter how you try to twist it, it is pure foolishness for anyone to think that the very much richer govt which incurred the debt was a saintly govt, while the much poorer govt which inherited and is struggling to clear the debt is a curse.
