"Consider Farming As Alternative Profession" - FG Tells ASUU

The Federal Government has urged members of the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU), to leave the teaching profession and consider going into farming, stressing that more farmers are needed in the country.

The Minister of State for Education, Mr. Chukwuemeka Nwajiuba, who made this known also that said that when schools reopen, some of the modalities that have been put in place to stop the spread of COVID-19 will include afternoon classes in order to prevent overcrowding.

Nwajuiba who was a guest on ARISE NEWS Channel monitored by IGBERE TV in Abuja yesterday, reiterated that all schools must enforce the COVID-19 protocols.

He said: “Some people may not believe what we are doing but we must continue to enforce that. You must continue to abide by the protocol. You must provide them. We don’t really care about how much inconvenience or how convenient you think it is for your child to wear facemask. Obey the rules first. If we find out you’re not following those rules, we will have to deal with somebody.”

On the protracted strike by the ASUU, the minister who recalled that the union did not embark on the strike on the basis of the pandemic, said the university lecturers might consider farming, insisting that more farmers are needed in the nation.

He said the federal government has shown commitment to their demands.

Acknowledging that the union has the right to express itself and make demands, the minister noted that up till July 2020, all academic staff had been paid salaries.

“ASUU is within its rights as a union of lecturers. We didn’t start a strike with ASUU on the basis of COVID-19. ASUU was already on strike way before COVID-19. Just before COVID-19 will shut down schools, they gave an indefinite strike. We are not in any contention with them.

“Government is actually not holding anyone to ransom. It says this is how I want to pay and it has to be through IPPIS. You can leave the employment. You can opt out of it and say ‘I no longer want to teach’. You can find other professions. What we need now are probably more farmers.

“You cannot keep forcing your employer and tell him, ‘I will like you to pay me my money through my pillow. Or, I will like you to pay it through this mailbox’. ASUU has a lot of complaints and dissipation around it. That is legitimate but doesn’t mean you should force yourself on the man who has the money.”

We know ASUU's demand might be unreasonable. But there is need to apply diplomacy in addressing issues as important as education.

There's nothing unreasonable about ASUU demands. We indeed have no value for education.

load of bullshit from a dishonorable minister,it seems like nobody is sane in this buhari government

I'm sure you guys are learning your lesson now,next time you will think very well before you vote or sell your vote out for your own selfish interest, you all had a good leader before,GEJ was one of the best president Nigeria ever had but you threw him away like a piece of trash for an uneducated,old,selfish,greedy,tribalistic,unfocus man to be your president, you guys are yet to see anything yet,the worst part is I heard they are preparing another old man like Tunubu to be your president,Before that will happen by the grace of God I will be out of this country.like a wise man once said,The President is not the problem of the country,we are because you all elected him to be your president. PEACE OUT

Let me laugh in Kuala Lumpur

.

All these APC guys are surely on some hard drugs

Imagine...


Why didn't you tell us that before we voted and revoted for you.

if this country eventually disintegrate which our Southern leaders think it will never, those who represented Southern Nigeria from 1999 till date will all be stoned to death.

look at what someone who is educated is saying, am beginning to see all Buhari cabinets as puppets or tools for destruction of Nigeria.

ASUU should be farmers association, hope you are educated enough to lecture Mr. Minister?

I will like to see my lecture practice Nyquist Contour in his pig farm

I like this news, Infact, FG should resign all those old men that claim to be ASUU, #rubbish
