I really pity Nigerian students... They are the ones at the receiving end

Truth

ASUU is a bit selfish. And all these months they are on strike, they will still receive their full salaries.
Maybe their salary structure should be reviewed, so that there will be basic salary as an employee and salary payment for lecture periods (may be more).
This will make it that when they are on strike, they won't receive the part for lecture periods.

I want to be Minister for Education

The whole thing makes no difference either because already there are countless number of graduates without employment or good opportunities to be self-employed; also there are alternative universities to the ASUU led university.

In my opinion, it is Nigeria and Nigerians that will ultimately be at the receiving end. All developed country were developed by their intellectuals and not mineral resources. the more intellectuals you have in an economy the better that economy becomes. In Nigeria however, brain drain is draining the country of intellectual gradually and living behind half-baked university graduate/professionals who cannot contribute any meaningful development strides to the economic development of the country. Government have to do more to produce skilled manpower and to keep them in the country for the betterment of the economy, and this is through improved educational system.

Govt should disband this ASUU and form another body that it can control. But when when u put into consideration the level of corruption in govt, you'll take sides with ASUU. Las Las na d common man wey nor fit send e pikin go private uni or school abroad dey suffer am.

Mass ignorance is a major threat to democracy in Nigeria. I've heard some miseducated folks (and I blame ASUU) ask why lecturers should be paid for work not done. This shows the level of destructive ignorance that holds the nation by the jugular. This also shows a crass misunderstanding of ASUU's struggles. The important point which is that the government has consistently reneged and breached agreements (MOUs & MOAs) voluntarily entered into with the union is lost. That is the crux of the matter. The danger with this thinking is that government is trying to set a precedent whereby if they want to deny workers their rights, they can easily provoke them into embarking on a strike and consequently, withhold their salaries. This is a tyrannical, autocratic and undemocratic method of emasculating and arm twisting labour unions from fighting for the improvement in the welfare of their members. It may effectively become governments' dubious means of raising fund whenever they experience paucity of funds.

Remember them children are not here ooo
Even a gbero done join carry pikin comot
Na me and you remain ooooo

They can start by reducing the salary of Bashir Ahmed an ordinary SA collecting 800k+ per month and other SAs and SSAs infact the govt doesn't need special adviser on media communications and senior special adviser on media communications na waste of money if you ask me

ASUP SANU NASU ASUP NASUP and SaANIP are all waiting for the outcome of ASUs negitiatiation. If ASUs salaries are increased by 100 theirs will also be increased by 100. That is why FG is treading carefully

lawrenzooo:


This claim of yours is false. Majority of the lecturers (senior lecturers inclusive) cannot afford to send their kids abroad for studies because their salary cannot foot the bill.

You are absolutely not correct. I know professors with children abroad. Many of them.

How they fund their children's education is what I cannot say or debate with you.

At least we both agree that their take home cannot sponsor a child abroad. Support from their wives maybe or dey have other side hustles.

OSUigboFlatHead:

Sense dey pain you?
Your good for nothing politicians take own at least 1m every month, but a professor can not even take home 500k. Some senior lecturers (doctors) are only getting 200k etc and you think it's ASUU's fault?
Una no dey ever think before Una spew trash

professors and doctors of what, to frustrate students,how many research and invention has they churn out to benefit the economy.a professor that lift,copy and paste content from other people works.are you a drop out.

IS IT NOT TIME FOR END SARS PART 2 WHAT ARE NIGERIANS STILL WAITING FOR

What are we saying and what is this one saying?

Hmmm

heykims:
Let's face the fact, education is expensive anywhere in the world. While the federal universities are run almost free of charge for students, ASUU is requesting a double of salary and wants autonomy of university financial runnings.
ASUU too should recommend ways by which revenue generation can increase in universities even if it is to increase tuitions.
Moreso, ASUU should note that all other associations/unions in civil service are watching on standby to see the outcome of their salary negotiations. They will all later approach the FG for review of their salary scales as well using ASUU'S new salary scale as a template.

If you read the article you would see the recommendation ASUU made about that and it's in the 2009 agreement. The federal government accepted their suggestion, implemented it but decided the proceeds would not be used for ASUU.

What are the recommendations please?

Guy, a prof doesn't earn 350K. You don't need to lie to prove your point. If everyone should go by your argument, the total workforce will be on strike. Yes, the country is bad but you don't make it worse with your incessant strike.

I have 11 years experience, working in a Fed University. How dare you claim to know more than I do. mtcheeew!

This policy has been in place for long. The last time JOHESU went on strike, their salaries were stopped and it didn't stop them from calling off their strike.
