Why We May Go On Strike Again – ASUU President by Otunbalarry: 4:20pm On May 13, 2018 |
NEWS DIGEST – The President of the Academic Staffs Union of Universities, Professor Biodun Ogunyemi has spoken to The News Digest on why the lecturers Union may go on strike. In this Interview with The News Digest’s Olanrewaju Oyedeji, the ASUU scribe spoke about the low funding of the Education sector and lots more. News Digest : What is your take on the recent statement of the Federal Government that Federal Universities should stop charging tuition fees? ASUU President: I must say we are not impressed,if the Federal Government is just coming now to state that, it is not impressive at all. News Digest : Do you think that the statement meets the current reality in our Universities? ASUU President: The Government should stop been hypocritical ,they should face issues, there is no money anywhere and they are not funding the sector,yet they say no tuition fee should be charged. ASUU supports that no tuition fee should be charged but the Vice Chancellors have found their way around it, if we have a case in which hostels go for as much as 40,000naira, do we still call that one free education? The Universities still charge indirect tuition fee and until the Federal Government faces the reality, it may be another talk. News Digest: But you have not done anything despite your claims on under-funding, what steps have you taken? ASUU President: You cannot say we have not done anything at all, we have been meeting with them for one year and we are still negotiating but until we see insincerity we cannot go for confrontation. News Digest: How soon are we likely to see confrontation? ASUU President: I cannot state that categorically, very soon we will come out to tell Nigerians to prevail on the Federal Government to do the needful through funding,it is only when they don’t meet up that we can act. News Digest: So are we likely to see another strike action? ASUU President: I cant speak on that basically but if the Federal Government proves that they are really insincere, we may talk about confrontation soon. We just rose up from a National Delegates meeting, so we have all our heads on improving things. https://newsdigest.ng/featured/2018/05/13/strike-again-ASUU/ cc lalasticlala |

austyn0: That's the point. Tomorrow the government will say the money is not there, but can afford useless medical trips to London and the likes of it. This country is really "funny" in a way. Now in the health sector, JOHESU is on strike. By the time they are back, NMA will start theirs. By the time they are back, Resident doctors will start theirs; and the cycle starts from the beginning again. In the education sector, ASUU is about going on strike. By the time they are back, NASU will start theirs. If they call off theirs, ASUU will commence the next episode. In all these, who bears the brunt? The poor masses. Our legislators(senators) are not even moved as far as they keep receiving their mouth-watering pays for doing 'nothing' in that chamber. Strike in Nigeria is just season movies. The Catholic church would say the prayer they titled "Prayer for Nigeria in distress", not knowing that Nigeria was even in paradise then. It's now that Nigeria is in real distress. Sis Rosemary Chukwu would say that those praying for Nigeria are short of words. I join her to ask "Which way Nigeria?" |

blessingsonflee: You're right, but the Federal government is becoming too non-chalant, stupid, and useless these days. Many graduates today are becoming unemployable because of 'unproffesional' training - I never believed this until I witnessed this in an interview session. A situation where the federal government cannot carry out its responsibilities but advise the extension of number of years spent in the university. Last time, it was extending medical study to 11years; now it's spending an extra year after graduation for the non-medical graduates. I wonder what schemes like NYSC and SIWES are really meant for. They only know how to propose useless policies. Do I blame them? After all their children spend lesser number of years without hitches studying in the diaspora. 1 Like |

I think there needs to be a law preventing Academic Unions from going on strike more than once in every three years. Lalasticlala |
