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.

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

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.

KillerBeauty:

Same issue with me too. I can't get my transcript. After thinking I was done with Nigerian universities strike problem, here I am praying for them to end the strike after graduating 5years ago. It's just too bad

emmasege:
At this juncture, it's important that NASU and SSANU sheathe their swords. The man in Aso Rock is dull of hearing and the Mallam in charge of Nigerian Ministry of education is a dullard like his employer.

Now, you guys know the difference between a GEJ and a PMB. Would GEJ have allowed the strike action to linger for this long?

Let's all enjoy our change while it lasts!

@ KillerBeauty and Kingzy4pep, I understand your plight. I also have a sister who urgently needs her certificate but can't process it due to the strike.

My advice: You guys had better storm Abuja and occupy NASS if you want this strike action called off. It's only Bukola Saraki-led senate that has the remote control of the dullard. He knows which button to press in order to reset the dullard's brain. Alternatively, you can stage a social media crusade like it was done for 'endsars', to achieve your aim.

It's most annoying that government is not taking any action or negotating with the unions in a manner that suggests an imminent end to the strike action.

1. Let me tell you now that my views on the situation have been formed from my reading widely, and also from having friends, relatives who work or have worked in the university system..as well as observing university strikes since the 1990's. Strikes affected me too badly...I spent one and a half extra years in university as a result.

2.The thing is...govt could use part of the loot recovered (which we do not even know the full amount) to settle NASU. The problem is...what happens when the recovered loot is finished.? Where do we get money to keep on paying NASU full salaries and emoluments on a yearly basis At best...it can only meet NASU's needs partway...and keep in mind that NASU are not the only guys with grievances.

3.The cold fact is that we need about N1.5-2 trillion annually to fund universities adequately.(That's from the ASUU-FG 2009 agreement) Our national budget is N8 trillion. Now...where do you think we would get the money....especially as we also have to fund primary and secondary schools...which could mean another N2trillion.

4.On recovered loot...much of it is still tied up in court cases...so govt can't use that cash just yet.

I knew we were in for it when GEJ's govt told ASUU the honest truth....we cannot give you N1.5 trillion in one year...but we can give you N1 trillion in 5 years...which was when we allegedly had the largest GDP in Africa.Na Bubu's crippled by oil price govt go fund am.

ASUU-FG 2009 AGREEMENT

p.s Why don't they use the recovered loot for health care, primary schools, secondary schools, etc......

Cromcruach91:


GEJ did negotiate with ASUU, NASU et al....just to tell them the money was not enough.

No, I am not insulting him. The truth is, the money needed to fix education is not small.

(Under GEJ....the Education Minister and Poly lecturers signed an agreement on salaries....only for Salaries and Wages commission to tell them that paying the new salary structure was impossible)

Keep in mind that the issue NASU has been pursuing has been on since 2009.

The way forward is to increase fees....which you people don't want.
