This year’s Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination
(UTME), will begin on Friday.
It is scheduled to hold from March 9 to March 17
Ugwoke said that the threat became imperative as the Federal
Government had continued to renege on the agreement it
entered with the unions.
According to him, “since our strike continues, JAC has
decided that no activity will take place in the universities.”
“This is because if we are on strike and you expect our
members to come and supervise JAMB or come to operate
their machines like the computers, that means we are
breaking the strike already.
“JAC has also decided that to redraw their assistance they
would not go to work. So all I know is that as long as we are
on strike, JAC has decide that there will be no exam.
“Our members will not participate and they will make sure that
the exam does not hold in the universities that is the position
of JAC, ‘’ he said.
He noted that JAC has also decided to hold a mega mass
protest rally on Thursday, March 8, to sensitise the public on
the issue of alleged corruption and the social injustices in the
Nigerian university system.

Owk

What exactly works in this country?
Like what are the advantages of being a Nigerian?

Oya na

......pressure groups:they have only the interest of their members at heart.

Good


Let government answer them.


No be only ASUU get university.

Not just NASU, SSANU and NAAT inclusive.

The only state in Nigeria that can successfully hold jamb without NASU problem Lagos and few other states with a lot of privately licensed CBT centres.

The jamb registrar is adamant. The requests to postpone the exam have been rejected by him and I see him finding alternative to this NASU challenge.

The academic arm has shown that NASU is not really important. E dey pain them

they supposed to have protest since, not today

Nigeria is a Joke

nasu the nasu. Naija my country i hail thee

Isn't it about time students embark on strike too?

These unions make it seem like students are not even important.

And students are always at the receiving end.

By the way; what's the outcome of yesterday's meeting with the FG?
These fools (FG, NASU, SSANU, JAC or whatever) are just joking with our future!

Naija!!!!!! Which way




Check my sig your academic project.

Just because snakes can't swallow our money again, they now remember failed promises...

Snake go swallow them oh

Lol
Time will tell....

Some people don't just have brains

So the registrar, bursar, laboratory technologists etc are not important?

Registrar and Bursar are management staff just like Vice chancellors who don't join strike action. Academic staff in most universities have since taken over laboratory practicals. Remember there are usually junior lecturers assigned to oversee such practicals even when the technologists are around.

NASU, SSANU and NAAT have just told the nation how less important they are in the university setting. And I think it's time government considered downsizing them.

Just like some 'expired' academics, most of these non-academics are too old for the job and not relevant in the 21st century. In a nation where human population and number of unemployed are ever rising, it makes no sense that professors will retire @ the age of 70 and non-academics at 65. Not when many of these professors stopped being research-active in their 40s or 50s.

The entire university sector needs a complete overhaul and the retirement age of university staff needs a review, if our universities will get it right and if young and brilliant ones will be in the ivory towers.

Your comment is so spot on. NASU, SSANU AND NAAT have shown how relevant and irrelevanr they can be in sustaining the Universities in especially y Federal and State universities. Downsizing is necessary.
For academic staff, the requirements for promotion or continue membership of a department needs to be reveiwed. All professors must continue to be evaluated and those sho are not research active must be forced to retire. Govt should start rating them. Only those with the highest academic rating should be allowed to retire at 70. Others who cant measure up should retire at 65 even if they are research active. When you institutionalise performance to continued employment, people perform. If NAAT, NASU, SSANU withdraws their members due to strike and JAMB decidez to hire outsiders to conduct UTME, how is that a problem. Is JAMB exam part of their core duties? These non academic staff are not serious!!!

Do you know how many graduates have lost massive scholarships & admissions abroad simply because they can't get transcripts due to NASU strike?

wow

quite true, we have to take note

If this is employed in Nigeria's public universities as at today, it will be hard to find 1 out of every 10 professors retiring at age 70.

Really?
I hope u know these are fathers n mothers who have kids to take care of....if ur parents are NASU,NAAT n SSANU.....u go change this ur yeye tone o...after hunger has rewired your brain

To you, what i will eat should determine what i should suggest as a solution to Nigeria's problem.
While i would not fully subscribe to massive retrenchment, i think their productivity must be stirred up. Those who will not be productive should retire especjally those who have stayed long in the system. Whats the point keeping a 50yr old lab technologist who would not even obey directives from a young lecturer on what to do in the lab. They come late and some even sell wares on campus.
We must be ready to fix this nation or we will keep producing badly cooked graduates.
Those dead wood professors in particular must be made productive or forced to retire!!!

JAMB should either postpone the exam or reassign candidates from centers located within the affected universities.

Not just the university system need overhaul but the entire education system in this country.
