ASUU should not make the mistake of calling off strike without achieving its dream of getting good condition of service.
In Uganda a senior lecturer with PhD earns 6m shillings which is equivalent to 1m naira. It has been revised to 11m shillings ($3142) which is nearly 2m naira. While in Nigeria a senior lecturer earn 1350000 shillings which is equivalent to 225000 naira ($381).

"Under the new salary structure, Professors will be the topmost earners, bagging sh15m every month. An associate professor will earn sh13m; a senior lecturer will get sh11m, a senior lecturer will recieve sh9m-followed by an assistant lecturer (7m) and a teaching assistant (sh5m)."

"This pay rise will make Ugandan professors the best paid in East Africa. According to a 2012 report issued by a committee of all vice chancellors of public universities in Kenya, the monthly salary and allowances of a full professor in Kenya are an average of $2,200 (about sh5.5m) compared with $4,900 (about 12.25m) in Rwanda, $3,200 (about sh8m) in Tanzania and $ 1,150 (sh2. in Uganda."

This increment would come into effect in 2022. A meeting between academic staff of Makere University with the president of Uganda mediated by the Inspector General of Uganda brought this achievement to both academic staff and teachers in the country. I wonder why this kind of meeting between ASUU and our dear president is not possible? Do we have patriotic people like the IGP of Uganda to mediate a meeting like this?

It is sad that a professor in Nigeria earns 2400000 shillings which is equivalent to 400, 000 naira ($677). How can he or she effectively work?
