Wow.

So ASUU is the only important Union in Federal and State civil service that needs to be paid abi?

ur brain don rust?is Abacha loot the only funds available?

Youngwiz71:


Can you give me a link or show me where the US said that, because since have been hearing of the Abacha loot, this is the first time am hearing that there are conditions to it.... Also using 6 billion naira + on cattles in Katsina was that part of the conditions given..... Please just show me....

you guys just love lies and propaganda. Who talked about 6bn for ruga here. Just always trying to use propaganda to disparage good intentions. FG proposed Ruga to settle herdsmen/farmer crisis. You guys still used propaganda to destroy good intentions. Some states accepted. The first batch of 6 states were given funds to implement the ranching programme last year. Katsina should be part of the 2nd batch of the programme. I'm sure, it's not only katsina.

othermen:
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.

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.

Since you sound like someone with deep knowledge of this ASUU vs FG fracas, why not tell us in details what ASUU demands are and what FG is offering them to sensitize Nigerians visiting this forum?

These people are seriously mad. Is ASUU only Labour union that need better standard of living or universities is only Nigeria institutions under funded.

Miroslavv:
To become a Proffesor is not easy. FG should respect Nigerian Scholars more.

What are they even offering

Iyatostrong:
ASUU as a union is a thief. They are fighting for their selfish interests.

Lecturers demanding for their entitlement is selfish interest?

bonnyhope:

You mean The Proffesors?
If yes, You are an illiterate and even if you go school, you have aquired very low quality education.

Emmamay10:
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.

Lol

for this country?

desiredhome:

ASUU is very greedy and also evil..are already loosing her relevance

Greedy as in how?
Please explain
An agreement was reached since 2009
So why has federal govt refused to honour the agreement?
Is buhari or the NA members owned any salary or allowances? Or even ministers and special advisers ?
Why owning ASUU?
Bashir Ahmed resign but was paid for 3months without working yet govt is claiming no money
Many of u just comment anyhow

shortIGBOman:


They are demanding for 1.2 trillion. And how is that their right? So ASUU can just wake up and quote figures and demand that their employer (FG) MUST pay them?

Their Cup don full now. The Students are used to the strike already. ASUU can go fvck themselves. We Nigerians are solidly behind Buhari ad FG on this.

NO WORK NO PAY.

Na only u dey behind buhari o
Imagine what u are saying ?
Their children school abroad and not affected by ASUU strike
God save us from these heartless people

Medical doctors, secondary and primary school teachers our roads needs the money more.

ASUU is no different from APC Government.

But God bless APC for this NO WORK NO PAY declared on ASUU.

ASUU have really lost the society sympathy and support, they are greedy and seems selfish. What are they even teaching ? There demands are recurrents, even if paid other university union will start their strike.the professors and lecturers are lazy and dumb. Universities should be able to have investment that will be generating at least 50 percentage of their salaries every month

Them go still pay

geedot:
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.

Chai!

Greedy as in they are not the only body under federal government payroll,.....
Greedy as in the money they are demanding is not available/feasible due to the economy of the nation,...especially after after the COVID-19......
ASUU should check themselves for holding on an agreement for over 20 years now..(ASUU strike have now became a household name)

The ASUU members that accepts their appointments already knew the salaries of the politicians so why are they complaining/comparing? besides what is the population of the executive compared to the lecturers?
Is the ASUU strike going to change the salaries of the executives?
Every Nigerians to his own pocket, ASUU is not different so they should go and seat down.....

Only enemies of Nigeria are supporting this ASUU excesses......

This Niger royal company, everybody just want to loot. ASUU want to loot abacha loot, FG say ASUU cannot loot what they are supposed to loot. Last last na common man dey suffer the lootings. If you are a common man and you no vote Obi, your brain needs to be examined.

A professor of fvking soil science. Why not Surgery or Obstetrics and Gynecology or Avionics or quantum physics?
Dat homie need to get a life; doesn't deserve any respect.

Nothing my brother... A professor that cannot solve common life problems, is that one a professor?

The only thing universities produce is paper certificate. Every university should be a company... Manpower is there, professors are there, the money is there, why can't they produce something that will solve problems in the society. Nonsense ASUU. We import everything and you want fg to give you abacha loot. Make everybody go find work. Lazy people... Text books copied... Everything copy copy from 1945 texts, no improvements with events of today

Which other establishment has been paid?
ASUU presently is the one with the loudest voice. I see more strikes and protests from different angles before the end of the year.

You're the only ones in the country
Greedy people
What about victims of banditary, unknown gunmen’s victims and poor nigerians who have never been to school?

I want to believe the ASUU president is saying the truth, because he knows what and how the Abacha loot is been mismanaged. Cos I don't think the Federal government has invested the looted money in any of the derailing Nigeria sector. Pls if I am wrong someone should enlighten me.

Imagine some of them are also affected by the strike action ( sitting at home) and they are here lampooning ASUU that is fighting for them

This government doesn't care about children at home and their education.

Fighting for them? This scope has expired nah. ASUU is only fighting for their members and does not care about the students at all. Every reasonable Nigerian knows this fact.

It's goes to show you the number of highly rational people in this country, even among youth.
Just look at some trashy comments here. This country may never become great with such myopic, kwashiokored- level of thinking. Imagine some of them are also affected by the strike action ( sitting at home) and they are here lampooning ASUU that is fighting for them

This government doesn't care about children at home and their education.

LoL @ the bolded, ASUU care-less about anyone but their pockets......... will the payment stop lecturers from all the atrocities they commit with students?........

So ASSU !!!!!! You want Bubu to give you Abacha loot which was looted far back 1990s To settle your demand in the name of resumption I see callamity for Assu bcs these government is telling Nigerians that Federal is tired of ASSU .Government is proposing to extend Privatization to Education sector in Nigeria. The did for NEPA,they are doing for NNPC the next one may be Edu sector.

rippa:

No sir
ASUU is the only one on strike now
How do u people support evil comfortably?

ASUU is not the only one on strike . Research institute are on strike too for almost the same demand for 12 months yet nobody has looked in their direction.
