The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) has said the federal government should have used the recovered $23million Abacha loot to meet its demands.https://dailypost.ng/2022/08/31/ASUU-strike-fg-should-have-used-23m-abacha-loot-to-meet-our-demands-lecturers/ 45 Likes 6 Shares

ASUU is behaving like a 2nd side chick with entitlement mentality. Don't worry, the 11 trillion FG is trying to raise for 2023 budget will be given to ASUU to make her members happy. Nonsense. 114 Likes 14 Shares |

It's like some people still don't get the memo yet. Nigeria is bankrupt! It's still just unofficial. A country that's planning on borrowing to finance 2023 budget. Even if FG paid ASUN the $23m returned loot, it's still not even up to 5% of what ASUN is demanding. So tell me how that would have changed anything. My only regret is how I wish I knew earlier how bad the country has decayed. 46 Likes 6 Shares |

This is more reason why ASUU will never back down until they received their share of the national cake. ASUU are only interested in more money and nothing else. Perhaps someone should tell ASUU that there are signed conditions/agreement with the US on what the recovered Abacha loot should be used for. Even if ASUU want more money, should they hold everyone to ransom? Their struggles could still be achieved while they continue working. 45 Likes 4 Shares |

What ASUU struggle for is that you or yours or majority of Nigerians get a worthy education. The FG rather is willing to invest Nigeria resource in ranches. In Katsina alone #6.2 billion has been released by FG to establish cattle ranches. This is what the federal government is passionate about, not the universities or the state of the universities. Some say ASUU’s demand is purely self interest. That is purely a misleading assertion. It’s part of ASUU's demand, a better welfare for its members; but you should know that you'd get better value from a lecturer who can meet his daily needs. Granting the request to ASUU’s welfare demand will not afford its members a luxury life. Rather, the new demand of ASUU that relates to welfare will still put a professor’s salary in Nigeria federal university at about the same amount of a graduate assistant in any top or middle tier university abroad. Glassdoor put the average salary of graduate assistants in the US at $33,230 which is with the current exchange rate at around #690:$1 over #20.7M annually. Nigeria professors at bar earn about #416,000 monthly which is in the bracket of #4.5M annually. ASUU has suggested to be paid in the bracket of the average salary paid to university lecturers across Africa countries and this new amount for a professor is not even up to 55% of what a graduate assistant earns in the US. Know that a general in Nigeria earn about #3.5M monthly while a major general is #1.5M . Yet ASUU is not demanding for up to these amounts for professors at bar. All is for the students- to have good facilities & dedicated lecturers & reduce the insane brain drain we are suffered. ASUU could have an agreement with the government, and request that federal universities become autonomous and so the Federal government don’t have to fund the universities; the running cost of the universities, the salaries of its members will be generated from the school fees of the students. Then in that case, most students would have to pay what is equivalent in private universities. ASUU understands that education still needs to be subsidized, because the masses may not be able to afford it and yet the people will take in hook, line and sinker the narrative that the union is a bunch of unpatriotic lots. Some argue that the government have shown good faith and committed to some of ASUU’s demand. Again, this is a purely technical lie intended to detract and distract and we have a shameful media willing to peddle and drive the propaganda home so that the derision of ASUU can increase, so that they can be perceived as unpatriotic; when in reality, the whole struggle is to help the nation better equipped with its human resource. The media will do well to be critical about what the posture of FG concerning the issue is. FG hard stance has shown it has no integrity, their refusal to implement past agreements or to comply with collective agreement born as a result of renegotiation with different parties they did set up- such as the FG Briggs led renegotiation committee or before then the FG Munzali led renegotiation committee… all of which further shows their lack of integrity and the news media in Nigeria is mostly complicit in this muddling and putting an axe when the issue should have long be done and resolved. Rather, they would find in the character of this government a bunch of people who align with the dangerous ideology that western education is Haram except for their children. The media rather would perpetuate the lies when they truly know that the strike is not conditioned on payment of withheld salaries. Why are their children studying abroad? Of coz, ours are in shambolic state and can continue to be. The media has access to what ASUU’s demand actually entails. The FG claims to have met 80% of the demands. ASUU says the FG claim is blatant falsehood. The media then should demand for FG resolutions or actions and compare with what ASUU’s demand are to know who is perpetuating or perpetrating falsehood. 14 Likes 4 Shares |

Youngwiz71:he is wrong as he is very ignorant. There are conditions attached to the repatriation of that money. So it couldn't have been used for ASUU. It's in public domain. U.S literally directed how the repatriated fund would be used. 11 Likes 2 Shares

Education is at it lowest low in this country. It’s no longer attractive and this will really harm us in the long run. These people dedicate their time and money to get to where they are, and are paid peanuts. How much do a presidential aide earn a month, what about a chief judge… they are all earning x10 of what those who taught them earns. 2 Likes |
