Members of f non-teaching staffs of federal universities in Nigeria have vowed that their ongoing strike will continue until their demands are acceded to by the government. The workers, operating under the umbrella of Joint Action Committee (JAC) have been on a nationwide strike which enters the 78th day on Tuesday.
Hope that the strike which has led to suspension of some essential services in federal government owned universities across the country is dim as the government has initiated any form of negotiation with the workers over their demands.

Speaking with SaharaReporters, the Chairman of University of Lagos (UNILAG) branch of Non-Academic Staffs Union of Universities, Comrade Kehinde Ajibade accused the federal government of insensitivity to the plight of the workers.
Ajibade asked Minister of Education, Adamu Adamu to ensure that government fulfill its part of the agreement reached in 2009 with workers which led to the call off of similar strike in 2009.

"Until the federal government honor our agreement, we would not resume. The federal government should do the needful, respect our agreement and meet our demands," said Ajibade.

Likewise, Comrade Gbenga, Acting Chairman of Senior Staff Association of Nigeria Universities, SSANU, UNILAG branch lamented that federal government has failed to live up to the terms of agreement it signed with the union after a previous two - week warning strike.

"There was a 2-week warning strike, which we suspended because we signed a memorandum of agreement with the federal government. The memorandum stipulates payment of our two years allowance, implementation of a ruling of Industrial Court that workers in the universities' staff schools should be absorbed to the university, end in usurpation of duties of non-teaching staff by the teaching staff among other things. But terms of agreement has not been met by the federal government until this moment of total strike."

He, therefore, added that the responsibility of determining how soon the strike will be called off is in the hands of the federal government.

funny

Federal government should do the needful abeg.

This strike is no longer favorable at all...

Na the students dey suffer all this ooo. 9ja which way.

Nairalanders please help me, i am in need of a sewing machine. Anything you can spare i will really appreciate. Bless you

Why is FG not giving this people much attention? Is because they are not lecturers, They play major roles in our schools. Now most activities in schools are grounded. New students don't have Reg No., you can't access your transcripts and more is many graduates may not be mobilized for NYSC if the strike continues.


Meanwhile the man in ASO ROCK AND HOST OF CABALS are enjoying thier loots.

Nigeria my country.

make dem continue, their strike have no effect, we did our registrations and even conducted some practicals while the y were still on strike

h

How does a deaf president listen to your plight?

this is really impeding practical sessions in med schools.. this regime is just trash

The only way to solve this problem is by raising fees in universities owned by government.

Or we spend N5 trillion of this year's budget JUST on universities.....

Nonsense

Nigeria varsity is not without strike. If it is not ASSU it is ASUP the list is practically endless. A four year course will automatically become seven years course. Naija I hail thy.

youngdoctor:

In 2009....FG and the sister union of NASU....ASUU agreed that universities get N3 trillion over 2 years.

In 2013...when ASUU went on strike to enforce that demand....FG told them no money...and reduced it to N1 trillion over 5 years...200bn of which has been paid.

Add the fact that we cannot afford an education budget of 26% of the national budget...ie N2.04 trillion naira...and that money won't just go on universities...pry and sec school....and you see why govt is not answering them

Options left are

1.Another IMF loan

2.Fees have to be raised

3.Everybody pays tax at the rate of 50-60% of your annual income.

Govt is corrupt...but the fact is....the money is not there. That is why the corruption is so painful.

What's working in this country self? May God deliver us o

FG is not giving them attention because if they wanted to...they would have to spend over half the national budget to sort out financial issues in the university....ASUU, NASU, SSANU palaver.

If the last govt during times of plenty could not give universities the N3 trillion promised in 2009....when ASUU and FG signed an agreement...this govt...which is running on lower oil prices than the last one ever did...cannot give them money.

So...your fees go up...or taxes go up.

And yes, this govt is corrupt...and what makes the corruption painful is that they are stealing from a very scanty treasury.

She is in which University bros?
I feel do visitation for am Sha..u dey feel me?

It is even more worrisome that the government is indifferent to their demands. No negotiations, no assurance, NOTHING, just a deafening silence and a nonchalant illiterate President.

Just look at you, what about the widely publicised recovered loots. Why can't the government use part of that money to sort out NASU crisis. I can authoritatively tell you that worse corruption and public fund embezzlement is going on now than ever before. Keep believing the Propaganda they feed you.

Wahala still dey

And I want my transcript. This people are just playing with someone's future.

A self-serving venture. Rather than Workers Union rooting for good governance. Salary increment without good governance will make no sense

Even if FG releases money to them, will it reach the bottom of the barrel of the lot? The Registrars, bursars and others at the top of the totem pole will see money, but what of the cleaners, electricians and co?

Everybody is just greedy and selfish in this country. Anyway, they can do whatever, but na when year dey end and elections are approaching that their problems will be addressed. This strike is wrong timed
