It's been a while...

Let me use this opportunity to share a message...

God is good and His mercies endures forever. God is able to do all things if only we believe.

Have faith and trust in God and he will bring all your desires to fulfilment.

God bless you!

I am disappointed

What?

Giving students time to go and celebrate Val for a month. Happy valentine to everyone. Share love to people and have a lovely valentine day.

Warning strike for one month then full strike action can last for one year


On a serious note, this is just to reflect that the FG doesn't take anyone serious....... Continuously postponing promises you made to your staff/universities.

The promises are just to quench the fire, after which they focus on embezzlement of funds.

ASUU knows that the federal university is probably the last hope of the common man; your education is actually subsidized!!

You see the amounts paid in private universities, that is the amount you will pay, if Federal school becomes self autonomous and then, federal government no longer has any responsibility as it relates to higher institutions.

Is it in lecturers interest, that federal government hands off? Yes, it is. That way, University lecturers salary will be sub-charged to students school fees, and school fees will simply just become affordable only for the rich. Only the rich will get an education.

That will be the fate of the common folks, the Parents and students struggling to even pay the little that is basically exam fee and registration fee.

You can check the agreement of ASUU with Federal government online if you are any diligent. ASUU’s primary want is that universities be funded, so that students can learn and be competent enough as their colleagues from private or foreign universities.

Lecturers welfare have actually never been on the forefront of the struggle and the truth is the average lecturer is been pushed to the wall, that they don't have a damn to give anymore about funding universities, they just want to be paid reasonable salary... But ASUU sees itself as the champion of common folks, and the common folks will stone and crucify ASUU in the end.

The issue is not that, ASUU makes new demands. The issue is the FG continues to renege on what they agreed to. So, they promise and they don't fulfil it.

It’s the school fees that our senator’s sons are paying abroad, that students will end up paying if they continue to be ignorant about ASUU’s struggle.

ASUU knows that the reason why some lecturers may resort to sorting and other malpractices is because their pay can’t even get them home, but yet members welfare is not foremost in ASUU’s demand.

You can check, a graduate assistant abroad is earning more than a professor in Nigeria. There is a continuous brain drain, our best minds are harvested by universities abroad. There is no motivation to have a career in teaching in Nigeria!!!

To access knowledge, you have to subscribe to journals, you have to do research, attend conferences… your most honest lecturers are poor folks, your honest professors can't do decent lives; to reach those stages of their career, they invested their paltry salaries in self development.

If you are a first class graduate in Engineering , that is why you would choose to work in a bank, than teach. Because your salary in a year as a lecturer, is the monthly salary of some bankers.

We attend congested classes, where you cannot really optimally learn, our laboratories are not equipped, our libraries are empty… we will never be equipped for the world, we will never pioneer any development, we will never be able to generate electricity by ourselves, or make toothpicks. Are we capable? Yes we are! Despite the situations of things, our lecturers are still coming up with patents and inventions that rust away in their dilapidated backyards, until they get it sold to China, who uses it to change the world, and become an economic and technology powerhouse.

Some of your lecturers don’t even want ASUU to make such demands in the interest of the people, because it’s in this decayed system, they have rooted themselves, but ASUU keeps on holding the line.

A 4-year course became 6 years all because of their incessant strike.

Do we blame them?

No!

We blame the government that continue to make empty promises.

How do you expect them to give their best to students when their pay is not commensurate with their efforts.

That's sweet

Only warning strike is one month.

The main one will be like 2 years

What is going on in this our darling nation

They should go and take several seats jare

Not happy with this information

Awon oni yeye

Nigeria which way

Hmmmm

Political

This will be resolved in lest than 2weeks

Election is around the corner

Make them kpata kpata scrap education for Nigeria

This is the real valentine lol...

In the future, when we will start living without the consciousness of annual ASSUU strike, and every educational issues settled, a day will be set aside for the remembrance of ASSUU strike... It is going to be a public holiday to mark ASSUU annual strike event.


This I have seen.

This government is by far the worst ever been. How can you make promises, sign MOU with ASUU only to fail to carry out your own part of the agreement.. All they do is to loot the treasury dry… Criminals.. I fully support ASUU on this action.

Every sector of this mumu country has failed completely

AgentGoat:

See as you Dey laugh like esu. Wetin funny!!

Abi Cus e no affect Una motor park?

Sorry our Nigerian Students!

If Dem like, make them go on 8 years strike. I don finish school be say I don finish.

T O DARLING

This country is not properly govern? If I were the president of Nigeria I will design a template that increases University lecturers salary yearly using some indices.
That way the lecturers will not be demanding for increase of salary whenever they wish.


Govt should pay salaries before capital project because it is when the normal basic things are met before capital project.

You can't take loan and construct railway to Niger republic and you can't pay lecturers working for you that is improper.

Is a man building a new house with paying his house help his or her basic salaries

Can’t ASUU strikes end once and for all in this country? Since 1993 till date I’ve heard of the event every other year. Sha, na Naija — our people no fit ever wise.

4 years have turned to 5 already, now they want to add 2 years extra to it. May thunder fire ASUU and fed gvt.


Pity students na
